What is the definition of old non-expiring miles?
If you were enrolled in the AAdvantage program prior to January 20, 1989, you may have earned ‘old’ mileage for any transactions up to and including June 30, 1989. You can use this mileage to claim awards from either the regular award structure (old awards) or the new award structure. You may also combine ‘old’ miles with ‘new’ miles to claim an award from the new award structure, such as a MileSAAver or AAnytime award, an upgrade, AAdvantage Car Awards or AAdvantage Vacation Awards for hotel stays. Any mileage that you have earned for transactions on or after July 1, 1989, which has not expired, is ‘new’ mileage. This mileage may be used to claim awards from the new award structure only. Members enrolled on or after January 20, 1989, may only earn “new” miles to be used for awards from the new structure.
