You are correct, I have to make a correction. It was BIS+Bonus of BIS -but a lot of it has been as Gold.
I should have stated that 90%-95% has been
w/out the use of credit cards, shopping, transfer miles, etc.
I still like the fact the only way to achieve LT is to get on a plane.
From what it seems, one can still earn "non-LT" points on AA from various credit cards, dining, etc. Ostensibly, it seem
only the "LT" award/achievement will by via flying..I'll be more than glad to stand corrected however..
