AA just offered me a Platinum status match
Just received this unsolicited email from AA. Is this new, or did I miss a thread where others have posted this? I have flown exactly ONE flight on AA in many years (MSP-MIA in 2012 in full-Y). Wondering if they did this based on my UA Plat status, or simply as part of the AA/US merger. Either way, sounds pretty nice...
