Quote: That is what I was wondering about. Your interpretation sounds valid. I was wondering if anyone who was expired/expiring PLAT by challenge tried to sign up for status buyback and what the result was.
I know a PLT who tried and the aa.com payment module (the same format, etc.. as the one that processes mile purchases, etc..) popped up an error message stating she was ineligible. Because of the DBEQM promo, she didn't pursue it any further. However, it seems to me to indicate that those who challenge will no longer be allowed to buyback their challenged status.
