Hello folks,

Just a generic question to throw out. I don't fly many miles, but I do rack up segments and I purchase my tickets the day of travel, and never stay a weekend. My ticket prices range (all domestic travel, all between 500 and 1000 miles) $800-$1300 (round-trip).
Between January 1 and the end of March, I've flown 40 segments, but only 22,000 Q Miles. (21,000 Q Points - most of my tickets are full fare Y, it's rare that I get a lower priced ticket).

Anyway... (I did a plat challenge in Jan, and got my plat status a week or two ago).

Is there any chance on earth that AA would consider giving me EXP status if I fly 100-150 segments this year? Also - is there any chance I could get the 4-500mile upgrade things for flying 10-15 segments, instead of flying 10k Q miles?

On a revenue basis, I think AA is making good money off me. I could switch to another carrier who would give me premium elite status for segments - but I'd rather stay with AA.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
