UA is going downhill. They better prioritize the SWUs before the miles-copay, or else people will just keep jumping ship.
You still just need 150k to get all the milestones you want. You can leave the rest to UA.
(although PLTs are eligible to earn eVIPs for passing each 2+MM threshold)By following your logic, I should assume UA business is wrong because they don't need any promotions at all, until recently the Double PQMs?

I think this is awesome. as someone who lives in STL but works in GRR, most of the promos never worked for me. in 48 segments this year I have ~8k EQM. Double did nothing for me. This is a nice reward for AA to say thanks to me and the others who fly with me to ORD for M-F work weeks from STL who also get hosed on normal promos. I was scheduled to hit ~120 segments this year, might have to add a few extra and attempt to use the SWU for our trip to LIR later this year. Should be Ex-Plat for the first time this year!!

A very nice gesture on American's part and there are some damn fine rewards in there. I doubt I'll get to any as I'm in the midst of a very slow travel year, but I still appreciate any reward an airline is willing to offer us ^

Very nice promo, and it reinforces AAdvantage's standing as the best elite program by far. <response to deleted posts removed by moderator

i feel foolish asking the question but i cannot find the answer in AA.com or this thread. please just point me to the right comment if i have overlooked it.
i can see where under the new system one will earn 1 SWU at 75k points or miles, 2 SWUs at 125k and 4 SWUs at 150k...but where does it say that you will also receive 8 SWUs for reaching ExPlat? it appears to me that 7 SWUs is max.

I find it odd that as an EXP (according to your profile) you don't know this, but upon (re)qualifying for EXP, you get 8 SWU's. That's been a standard reward for quite a while and has nothing to do with this promotion. So if you reach 125k, you get 7 (promotion)+8(EXP) SWU's.

Getting 15 SWUs when flying 150k miles is quite good for people traveling a lot internationally.
For those flying mostly domestically: getting 400k+ redeemable miles (150k regular + 150k double miles for elite status + 100k bonus) when flying 150k is also awesome

I assume all Oneworld qualifying flights are counted towards this as well....?
I read through the first 4 pages of this thread as well as the T&Cs and gave up searching...so excuse me if the obvious was too obvious for me to find.

Anything flights that normally would qualify for EQM/EQP and Segments will count towards making the thresholds.
