Does this mean they don't count toward lifetime status?
If so, it seems sending 60k for 101.25k seems like a no brainer. Not really going to do better than that for AA miles I don't think.
Maybe with the relationship with Marriott ending we'll see other promos like this one.
The miles won't count towards published elite status qualification. Lifetime status on AA is an unpublished benefit that counts all miles earned, regardless of the source.
