Jim, members will also be able to qualify for Executive Platinum membership by earning 100,000 points or traveling 100,000 miles. Likewise if you met the 100,000-mileage level in 1999, you will qualify for 2000 Executive Platinum status. No word on increasing mileage requirements for upgrades but did AA not raise at least first and business award levels this time last year?
P.S. I won't post this twice
