December 31
January 1. All elite status counters are reset to 0 – 0 elite qualifying points (EQP), 0 elite qualifying miles (EQM), 0 elite qualifying segments (EQS). Flight by flight, the race is on to earn a higher status for this year and roll over into next year.
- Lifetime miles on AA? 250K
- Current AAdvantage balance? 60K & 6 500-mile upgrades
- First planned flight? January 17th, AUS-ORD (I’ll earn another 4 500-mile upgrades on this flight)*
- Current status? AA Platinum
- Target? Executive Platinum
- How? On segments – 100 of them
Timeline? Unknown. Follow the blog to find out…
* Booked AUS-ORD, will likely do same day standby and do AUS-DFW-ORD instead since I need the segments – a huge benefit of AA’s elite program is the free same-day standby
