Probably not a clever question but I still don't know all the details of AAdvantage: I'm 241 EQM short of reaching my final elite rewards stage. I'd love to have the extra SWU's. Is there a way short of flying (I'm abroad until new years) to get EQM?
Plenty of ways to earn EQM while abroad. Not sure where you are, but hop on a oneworld carrier and you'll be fine (mind your fare classes, though...some earn, some only earn partially, and some don't earn at all).
Cheers,
