Well, as you can see from my post count, I'm a real newbie. I wish I'd found this board sooner...had I known about the Gold challenge on AA, I could've been gold this year!

I just wanted to say thanks to the people who have been kind enough to reply to my few posts and lend me their vast expertise. Hopefully, thanks to the suggestions of people here, we will have managed in just a couple of weeks to increase my husband's mileage level on AA enough to get us business class tickets to Australia.

So thanks! This is really a nice community of folks!
