I am currently a Platinum Elite FF with Continental. I have appx. 500,000 award miles on file and fly between 75,000-100,000 base miles per year (50,000 miles so far this year), including 4-6 international flights. I
expect this rate to continue for the forseeable future.

Due to changing circumstances, I may need to consolidate my future travel on American Airlines. I am NOT currently an AAdvantage member. Obviously, I'm not much interested in starting over from ground zero in a new FF club with no privileges for at least a year.

I've talked to other high-volume fliers that have been given special consideration when switching FF clubs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to approach AAdvantage with this situation and what I can
reasonably expect? Can you suggest a SPECIFIC contact to approach? I've called their Customer Service number and have gotten a relatively clueless response from their representatives when I explain my situation.

Thanks in advance for your help.
