My points in Advantage would be coming close to the 18 month cancelation rule. That is if I have no additional qualifying activity in 18 months they cancel my points.

As such was wondering what the cheapest way of adding a couple points so I can extened the 18 months ?

Unfortuantley dont have the time or the funds to do any traveling domestically or interntional.

Are there any online stores in Aus that give you Advantage points ?

Are you hiring a car or staying at a hotel anytime soon since these can give you miles

Alternatively, you could buy some miles

Won't cost you anything but time. Should be able to get 100 AA miles in around 1hr playing the games.

Have you actually given it a try? There's a note in the Terms and Conditions saying you have to be a US resident to get a reward. They might well not check this at all though...

I have received AA miles for other such promotions with residence restrictions in the T&C's. When one considers the probable proportion of Oz based AA members to those residing in North America it's not surprising there's rarely any checks made on this for minor prizes.

See the Flyertalk Thread. I have already received ~2800 AA points (between mine & my wife's AA accts), and have another 3000 in the queue.

Hmmm, when trying to post 100 points to AA, I am getting this error:

???en_AU.directDeposit.errortext.system.error???
???en_AU.posting.errortext..errortext.system.error ???

I have changed my location to a USA place but still no go.

Any ideas?

Sometimes redemption doesn't work. Try again tomorrow.

I'd suggest checking / posting your problems in the Flyertalk Thread, since there are a lot more people using the site. There have three or four posts about this problem there.

Have you tried https://www.points.com - if you sign up and link to your AAdv account you will get 10 points credited to AAdv within days. Did this for my MiL. (not sure about residency requirements).

Mrs Serfty got an 18 months extension before the 17Dec deadline last year using this method (it was 50 AA miles back then).
