There is no way.

No, it doesn't matter if you request mileage credit in Dec. 2013 or Jan. 2014. In either case, the mileage will be credited to the date you flew the flight. There isn't any reason I can think of to leave out your FFN in your reservation. You wouldn't even get any of your status benefits.

I am wondering if I do not put in any FF# into the booking and after the flight I will submit a reqest mileage credit via AA.com; does it really matter if I do it before Dec 31 2013 or after Jan 1 2014? Because if possible I want to get a head start for my renewal next year instead of ending 2013 with 120k EQM/EQP. And I am not really into getting more SWU with milestone 4. Thanks all.
