Preventing AA miles from expiring

[burmans]

There used to be a thread on here about how to prevent AA miles from expiry but can't find it now. What is the latest feeling now you can't use the awardwallet hack. I know you can donate 1000 miles but dont really want to lose miles.

Has anyone had any luck using the shopping site, i.e. is there anything you can get on there that is actually of use in Oz (or alternately so cheap it doesn't matter)?

Since there is no award cancellation fee, I wonder if booking an award and cancelling it works.

This is a thread but not sure how many are still viable

Cheapest way to get a few AA miles to stop miles expiring

Hi My AA account has 60,000 miles which will expire by 1st April if I have no activity. Any way I can get some quick cheap miles ? Or how do I use miles in Aus for a flight from Perth to Sydney ? EDIT: Would donating miles save my miles ? http://joinus.aa.com/american-airlines-inc-aadvantage

You can TF Amex MR points to AA....I think miminum 3000 Amex to get 1500 AA.

Transfer a small number of points from another program such as Marriott Bonvoy if you have an account in another program that can transfer.

Not sure what type of Amex card you have than can transfer directly to AAdvantage?? Mine needs to launder the points through another program such as Marriott Bonvoy.

Diners Club used to transfer directly to AAdvantage. Not sure if that is still an option for the few people who still have Diners Club cards.

I just logged into my AA account for the first time in 3 years and was offered to buy them back.
Only 1000 points so I didnt care when they expired in Covid.
