How much are you willing to spend? When can you travel? Where are you looking to go (domestic/intnl? ie do you have a passport, if so, which one?) Can you take positioning flights? 12k isn't so insurmountable, especially given its only October.

DFW native, AA flyer, I'm at 73,500 EQM's for the year and 80 EQS with aprox 20 EQS & 15K EQM's booked through the end of 2016.
Obviously I'm going to be short Executive Platinum status (100k EQM or 120 EQS) and I'm looking for your help.
What's going to be my most cost effective mileage run via AA to get me over the 100k EQM hump?

Mileage Run for AA Platinum Challenge
I need 12,500 EQM's for an AA Platinum challenge and I'd like to knock it all out in one go. To this end, I'm willing to pay a little extra for business/first class so I get 2x EQM's and minimize my time expenditure.
Departure Airport: BNA, HSV, BHM, CHA
Miles Needed: 12,500 AA EQM'S
Required Spend or Budget: $1,200 or below
Available Travel Dates: 1/1/2017 through 2/10/2017, with total travel time minimized as much as possible
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Anything that earns AA EQM's
So far, this is the best run I've found, bookable through AA's website:
HSV-CLT-PHX-SEA-LAX-ORD-HSV
Depart 1/30 at 6:03 AM
Return 1/31 at 12:18 PM
First class on every flight.
Ticket price $1,168.10 and 13,916 EQM's earned, which comes to 8.4 cents/EQM. If anyone can beat this, I'd love to hear about it!

13,500 EQMs for Platinum from NYC (JFK)
Hi,
I am new to the forum and I am hoping that someone can help me figure out a way to maintain the Platinum status I earned for the first time last year.
Departure Airport: JFK, EWR, LGA
Miles Needed: 13,500 for Platinum (and 53k for MillionMiler)
Required Spend or Budget: 3K, but less would be better
Available Travel Dates: Open 11/9 -12, 11/18-21, 11/25 - 30, 12/8-14, 12/25 - 30
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: AA metal, I guess that would help me earn quickest
Overseas or domestic is fine. If I stopped in London I would not complain.
Thank you!

CGK from LGA is $798 many days, for example out 11/28 return 11/30.
Either of these is more miles than you need. Make sure to have AA flight numbers on all segments for full credit. With CX or JL flight numbers, flight may earn zero.

Need 35 k Miles to be Exe Platinum
Hello Experts,
I need to earn 35k miles to reach exe platinum status for next year. I can fly from NEW YORK, BOSTON, HARTFORD AND NEWARK to any where in the world.
I will appreciate if anyone of you can help me in getting a flight that can give me 35k miles. I would like to fly by Nov 18 and can return the same or next day from that location.
PS. I am a US Citizen and would prefer to fly business class while not spending over $2500.
Regards,
Tanveer
