Do AAdvantage miles expire?
Yes. American AAdvantage miles expire after 24 months with no earning or redemption activity, and any qualifying activity resets the clock on the full balance. AAdvantage credit-card holders and members under 21 are exempt, so their miles stay alive however long the account sits idle.
GuideDo Chase points expire?
No. Chase Ultimate Rewards points do not expire while the card account they sit in stays open, and there is no inactivity clock. Closing the card forfeits them, so move them to another Ultimate Rewards card or redeem them before you close it; an account Chase closes for missed payments forfeits them too.
GuideHow to earn AAdvantage miles
American AAdvantage members earn 5 miles per $1 on American Airlines fares, rising to 7, 8, 9 and 11 with Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum status; basic economy earns none. Partner-airline flights earn by distance and cabin, and Citi points transfer in at 1:1, Marriott points at 3:1.
