Can anyone here please explain to me how an AA Platinum elite who flies 75K-99.9K miles per year would be upset about having a new tier level at 75K???
As for the LT Gold/Platinum question and the renaming of tiers. If 25K becomes the "silver" level, then you will be notified by AAdvantage that the Gold elite level will now be called the Silver elite level. And thus, your LT Gold status becomes LT Silver status. AAdvantage reserves the right to change its program at any time. Which includes the changing of its elite tier names. What if they dropped the metallic naming of elite levels and chose colors instead. If there were no Gold elite level anymore, would you expect the LT Gold status to go away completely, or just be renamed?
