I can't imagine it is possible to be first to post important news that comes in AA email. But i searched for prepaid and pre paid and status with sale and other terms and did not find. So OK here goes, delete if old news.

You can prepay for 5,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 of travel and get Gold, Platinum, or EXP. Similar to the promotion last year but new program for 2007.
Again, hope this is news to some, I am considering.
