Apologise if this question sounds stupid.
I received this mail from AA recently. I searched but couldnt find info whether this is flying miles or Q miles. If I fly 10K miles in discounted coach (which earns 0.5), will it be sufficient? I figured two coast-to-coast trips will suffice. Looking for the next AA $198 deal between BDL-SJC.
BTW, why are BDL-Bay Area cheapest fares so
high these days?</font>
Not stupid...its gets confusing sometimes. If flying exclusively on discounted coach fares you will need to fly 20K miles within your 90-day period to complete the platinum challenge.
