I'm less than 200 miles from Plat and I'd love to get MCE booked prior to my next trip mid Dec.
(I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything, likely because I couldn't quite think of how to word it)
While it may not be unheard of, I am not clear, and forgive me, what benefit this has for AA. You do not qualify in any terms as a "major" or "large" customer or influencer. You're a regular good customer. From a relations point of view, maybe, but to start topping off status as one approaches the threashold could be a bottomless pit for profits, and that impacts ticket costs at the end.
As I sit here with 99,437 miles, I too wonder if they might let me take the rest of the year off and just ship me my SWUs now.
