A. There is no EXP challenge
B. AA are (thankfully) cutting down on serial challenges...so even if there were it would be unlikely.
Cheers.

Wasn't there an offer that you could buy $10,000 worth of flights (like a gift card) in advance, and they would give you ExPlat for that year (but no soft landing--drop like a rock)?

There is a rumor out there you can get EXP by merely flying 100k EQM, earning 100k EQP or flying 100 segments in one calendar year. Imagine!

This is a little bit off the main subject here, but I think is still applicable.
When you challenge gold or platinum does AA go off Q-Points or Q-Miles?

Clearly you've read this far in this thread. Why not try looking in the sticky about challenges? Or the wiki? Or anywhere in the thousands of places that this has already been answered?
