When you will earn miles on a flight and when you won't

If you miss your flight, or even if the flight is canceled, then you won't receive any frequent flyer miles. And if for some reason you're able to board the aircraft without having your boarding pass scanned, then you won't receive mileage credit.
The article from AOL Finance discusses a unique travel hack where individuals can earn airline miles without actually flying. This method involves booking a flight and then canceling it within the 24-hour free cancellation window provided by many airlines, which allows travelers to retain the miles or points credited to their account for the booking. The key is to find flights that are eligible for this loophole, typically those that are refundable or have a free cancellation policy. The article highlights that this strategy can be particularly useful for accumulating miles quickly, especially when airlines offer promotions or bonuses for booking flights. However, it warns that this practice might be against the terms of service of some airlines, and frequent use could lead to account scrutiny or penalties. The piece also provides tips on how to identify flights suitable for this hack, emphasizing the importance of understanding airline policies and the potential risks involved.
