The changes to the EQM model were released earlier this year. No changes on the announcement this week.

Here: https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...s/american.jsp and Here: https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/m...r-airlines.jsp

Flying 100K miles on tickets bought on AA with an AA flight number will get you 100K EQM. You will just need to spend $12K in the process to keep your EXP status starting Jan 1, 2017.

Well I guess I had that coming didn't I.

I do appreciate that they've lowered the threshold. It's a feat to wrap up 120k miles on American this year because there are still markets I fly where WN makes the most sense by a long shot. And sometimes JetBlue.

Is the 100,000 EQM threshold for EXP for this year, now, or does that only apply to next year?

I think I'm correct in saying that it WAS 120k for EXP earlier in the year, right?
