In order to reach ExPlat, do I have to fly AA metal a few times, or can I fly only CX and credit the flights to AAdvantage & reach ExPlat? Thanks once again.</font>
US residents receive no AA mileage credit for CX flights booked in fares below economy Y/B/H. That eliminates the deeper discounts.
Other than that, and subject to the need to fly at least 4 AA segments per year, CX is fine.
