This is my post. And I am a true newbie.

I am 9,400 miles short of becoming AAdvantage Gold for the first time! I will be making 3 business trips in the next 2 weeks and will earn only 6,060 miles on these 3 trips. This means I am short 2,340 miles. These trips are direct flights. I don't know how to add legitimate legs to my trips to increase the miles, not the fares. My fares are fully refundable and no minimum stay required, thus I can make changes any time. Please tell me how I can earn extra 2,340 miles on these trips. Since my first trip starts on Monday, your PROMPT responses are appreciated.

My trips are as follows:
11/17 DFW-IAD
11/18 IAD-DFW

11/19 DFW-MDW
11/20 MDW-DFW

11/24 DFW-RDU
11/25 RDU-DFW
