I think that there is also an expanded inventory for seats that are traditionally used for the SWUs with the new planes (especially 77W) and routes coming online. I don't think that they would have radically expanded the SWU inventory w/o having a corresponding increase of reasonable uses for them.
Not on the 77W for A class (3-class IFS). Far fewer seats in that cabin than on the 772.

^ plus your not forced between just one or even choose between two things that you want. I applaud for AA in giving so many choices in rewards!

When I registered for the promo, the "Thank You for Registering" note contained the following: "Activity that occurred prior to registering for the promotion will not be included in qualifying for the bonus or incentive."
I'm going to assume that's in error, but who knows...

That said, there certainly aren't many cases in which I'd see that option as appealing, but might as well offer it; the competition does too.

I wonder if the 10,000 EQM's for meeting minimum spend on the AAdvantage Executive World Elite MC count towards this?

My email says "For most promotions, activity that occurred prior...." But the explanation for this promotion on the AA website says that prior activity does count.

The awards are progressively better as one accumulates more EQM/Ps. Its a nice touch.

Just registered.
This might be the cynic in me but I think that they might devalue the eVIPs before I can use them.

Anyone else thinking this might all be to "soften the blow" that we are about to experience with the merger etc....? Oh well, at least we were KISSED before we were SCREWED!
