I propose a pre-emptive FAQ.
I got the email and registered. Do I get bonus EQM and RDM?
Just bonus EQM. No RDM.
Sweet, I'll finish my Platinum Challenge in half the time!
Hold your horses there, sport. This only gives you extra EQ
miles, not
points.
I didn't get the invitation email. Can I register?
You can go through the motions of registering, but you probably won't get the bonus miles.
What do you mean, "probably?"
Once in a while AA will screw up and give bonuses to ineligible registrants, but they've been pretty good about not doing that lately.
But I got a confirmation email, even though I was never invited to register!
Doesn't matter.
Should I call AA and ask if I'll get the bonus anyway?
You can call, but the answer will be "no."
I called and they said I wasn't eligible. Should I try calling again?
There's no law against wasting AA's time, I guess.
It looks like I'm ineligible. This is so unfair! No wonder AA is bankrupt!
You poor thing.
