Here is the buy up information from last year.
Buy up to AAdvantage Executive Platinum
•If you end the year with 95,000-99,999 miles or 115-119 segments you can pay $1,199 to boost your status
•If you end the year with 90,000-94,999 miles or 110-114 segments you can pay $1,799 to boost your status
•If you end the year with 85,000-89,999 miles or 105-109 segments you can pay $2,499 to boost your status
