IF you made EXP during this trip you would receive 8 VIPOW upgrade certificates. They are paper; can only be used on AA flights; and can no longer be converted to miles. However, once Gold, you will earn segment upgrades, at the rate of 4 per 10,000 flight miles (not Q-points) flown, and these could be converted to miles at the rate of 2,500 miles each.

Now for the bad news. Unless you have about 45,000 Q-points already you won't make EXP on this trip. This trip comes in around 45,000 miles. That's 56,000 Q-points. Still a long way from EXP. In actual miles in your AA account, however, you will end up around 93,000 as you will be getting a 100% bonus once you hit AAdvantage Platinum. Thus, if you turn the 12 (maybe 16) segment upgrades at the end of the trip you will have around 120,000-130,000 miles in your AA account.
