But what airlines won't tell you is that when you try to redeem your free ticket you're competing with 40 million other frequent fliers for the same ticket. We all want to go to the same place and there aren't enough upgrade seats to go around.
Every frequent flyer program has a series of non-profit organizations that you can donate your miles to.
The world of expired miles is starting to change for a lot of frequent flyers out there. If you're traditionally worried about miles expiring... you're probably going to welcome this news.
If you're feeling a little guilty at the end of the year and you got some extra miles, ... I highly encourage you to contact your local frequent flyer program and give.
