Through September 30, 2014, American AAdvantage is offering up to a 35% bonus on shared miles. I'm writing about this simply to explain why in almost all cases it's not worth taking advantage of.
Sharing miles is basically an opportunity to transfer miles from one account to another, which can be useful if you don't quite have enough miles for an award ticket in one account, but have a second account with extra miles you could use to "top off" the account.

As I explained a couple of weeks ago, ExpertFlyer is one of the travel tool subscription services I pay for, given that it saves me a ton of time and does display some information which isn’t otherwise readily available online.
Over the past couple of years they’ve certainly fought their fair share of battles with airlines over which space they can and can’t display. ExpertFlyer is a great service and makes life easier for the frequent traveler, but in many cases that’s not something the airlines like. For example, if you can set alerts whereby ExpertFlyer emails you when award or upgrade space opens up, the airlines aren’t a fan of that for obvious reasons. While they create the rewards systems, they don’t want to make them easy for us to use. For example, late last year they stopped displaying most Star Alliance award space, as well as British Airways award space.

This video of a Delta jet making a rather amazing landing has been making the rounds. I’ve seen it on Facebook, and three readers sent it to me. The strength of the nose gear on the Boeing 787 is very impressive! But… this didn’t really happen. Delta has ordered 18 Boeing 787′s. None have yet […]
