The e-mail stated, in its entirety:
Dear JDiver,
As an AAdvantage Executive Platinum® member, you receive eight complimentary systemwide upgrades for travel around the globe on American Airlines. As an added convenience, we've recently made it easier for you to check your available balance.
You can now view your systemwide upgrade balance on AA.com. Simply login, go to My Account and select the View My Upgrades tab. Here, you'll see the balance information for your 500-mile upgrades and your systemwide upgrades – all in one convenient place online!
No more waiting for a monthly email to check your balance. In fact, this information will be updated daily with the number of systemwide upgrades currently available for use, the date they were deposited and their applicable expiration date. You will also be able to view the number of upgrades you've already used or those associated with future trips.
Once you're ready to book your trip, just call your Executive Platinum Service Desk to make your reservations. Complete details can be found at www.aa.com/vpupdate.
We recognize these upgrades are a valuable benefit of your AAdvantage Executive Platinum status and are happy to provide you with the convenience of viewing your balance online. Thank you for flying with us.
Sincerely,
Rob Friedman
President
