American AAdvantage: AAdvantage Program Gutted

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:37:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fourmillionmil - If you are a frequent traveler that cannot plan 6 months in advance you can forget about AAdvantage now. The upgrade policy has been changed to hand out upgrades (within status level) to the first request. Sounds fair except the upgrades go to the guy...

American AAdvantage: American Airlines miles

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:20:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stardom08 - Well I think this is a valuable service but the facts remain that 25000 miles gets a domestic flight and 30000 gets an international flight. I got into the program because it is a win-win situation. If you do not fly American you do not get the miles...

United Mileage Plus: Rude Awakening

Wed, 14 May 2008 05:42:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xiaotiqin - UMP yanked 30,000 of my points with no warning, despite continually earning points using a grocery-miles card. Two written inquiries were rebuffed saying I did not accrue miles during a short period of time. I am really disappointed that United refused...

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:25:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sillysteph - I have been an Aeroplan member since the Air Canada bought out Canadian Airlines (about 10 years.) The recent Aeroplan changes have really improved the selection of merchadise you can redeem. I have recently booked two redemption flights with Air...

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:56:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author flightlines - British Airways now charges $75 to $100 FUEL SURCHARGE for each leg of a flight you take when using miles. Total with BA for BOS to LHR $332. With American AAdvantage the cost is only $132,and 10,000 miles less to boot! So avoid...

Air Tran A-Plus Rewards: Read the Fine Print

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:13:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yosi2 - Can I give this zero stars? I won't bore you with all the details. Suffice to say, the rewards are basically useless. I cannot find a flight that doesn't have "capacity controls." (Seats available, but not for vouchers!!) Since business seats were...

United Mileage Plus: Increasing blackout dates but still the best FF

Tue, 8 Apr 2008 23:39:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leftrevolution - United's frequent flyer program, is in my opinion the best around. Is it perfect? No. The blackout dates, restrictions on when/where you can use the miles have been increasing. But, no other program has so many ways to earn partners with miles (and...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author karpinsd - Here it is early March and we're trying to book flights from San Diego to Charleston, SC, the week after Memorial Day at the end of May. How do you like a 7-hour layover in Dallas? Or the 6:20 am departure from San Diego? Or a 9:55pm arrival in...

Continental OnePass: Can't find any round tirp flights for 25000 miles

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:10:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starbuck777 - I cannot find any roundtrip flights using my Continental onepass miles for less than 50,000 miles. I see United and US Air require only 25,000 miles for a roundtrip ticket. I will not use Continental Air for any more flights. They all charge about the...

United Mileage Plus: united mileage plus sucks

Sun, 3 Feb 2008 23:22:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author felixmarshal - They stole my hard earned points balance TWICE! I never received any warning and they refused to reverse the deleted points, even though it was less than 30 days since activity was required. I will never fly United again, they have an excellent...

Sun, 3 Feb 2008 01:10:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mrsfitts - Joining United Mileage Plus When I first started traveling for work, I wasn't sure which airline I'd want to use most often, so I signed up with all of the airline Frequent Flier Programs by going to each airlines website. After a few trips on...

Jet blue true blue: It's True...It's True....It's True Blue from Jet Blue!

Sat, 2 Feb 2008 01:04:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author roynyr - Yes, it's True Blue, the frequent flier rewards program from Jet Blue. In my opinion, it is really the superior reward program for airline fliers who take around six to eight flights a year because there is no real pressure to use it right away...

United Mileage Plus: Flexible and easy to earn status.

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:24:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zerohero954 - I like United's Mileage plus program because of it's flexibility, and the relative ease with which you can earn "Premier" status. I mostly fly domestic, so for me I'm only concerned with the domestic portion of their frequent flier "network". United...

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 23:46:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LRai - I am a business consultant by trade and so I tend to travel alot. Now I even travel abroad so a mileage program is a no brainer. I have been a member of the Mileage Plus program since 1999 and at this point I have Premier status which is good I guess...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mobster - All the rave reviews were accurate a while back. But this company keeps changing their terms and making it harder and harder to use miles. They continuously up their number of miles required and today when I tried to use miles to upgrade to first class...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author voscott - I recently decided to fly from SFO to DEL and had some AMEX miles that I wanted to use to fly business class on this trip. I had the miles transferred to Flying Blue and then proceeded to try and book my travel at the Air France Flying Blue Awards Site...

Sat, 1 Dec 2007 12:10:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - I joined the JetBlue TrueBlue program the first time I flew on JetBlue. I do that as a matter of course when I fly a new airline. I've only ever earned enough on an airline frequent flyer program to earn a reasonable reward once and for some reason I...

Sat, 3 Nov 2007 15:15:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trixie27 - I live in a fairly small city; the local airport only has connecting flights to two major metro airports, so there are no direct flights to any other airports other than those two Hubs. I prefer to fly out of my local small airport to save three hours...

American AAdvantage: Just try to use your miles

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:55:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author permit - I'm trying to find flights months in advance, and AA simply will not let me use my miles. To suggest you can fly somewhere when you want for 25K miles borders on false advertising. Please go to AA.com and try to book an award flight. They have a handy...

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 10:06:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cassandrawilso - Purchasing miles is way more expensive than purchasing a ticket outright. Ended up paying about 5 times more. The service center does not tell you when it would be more cost effective to purchase tickets instead of purchasing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kfhoz - I recently had experience booking several sets of award travel, and UNITED was wonderful. I wanted to use the award level that permitted the least points because I only barely had enough points. First point is that for any frequent flyer travel, you...

Sun, 5 Aug 2007 11:41:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moreyada - I have been a frequent flier for 10 some years now, flying between 40,000 and 80,000 miles per year. I used to love OnePass. Now all I can say is that I like it. I have to qualify that with I think all airline FF programs have gone down hill in the...
