Tickets booked for another 14,806 EQM and roughly $1,200 EQD by 12/31. There will be no shortfall for EQM but I may need about $1,400 EQD to make EXP.
Not an attractive offer! AA isn't acting smart!
It's pretty clear from the offer that they aren't giving offers where you are short EQDs that are anything less than the amount of EQDs you are short. Of course that is silly if you can do a cheap partner flight in E+ or biz that yields a multiple of EQDs to fare paid. But they seemingly are drawing a line in the sand on EQDs and making you get over by (1) flying AA fares (2) flying partner fares or (3) paying the full difference (plus some in many cases) that you are short.
