Just so I can get this down and coordinate some sort of 2 weeks long MR to regain AA EXP... As long as I booked the flights on AAvacations before the deadline of December 2018, I will qualify for the bonus, doesn't matter if my travel dates are in 2019 (question 1). Question 2, I read somewhere that the special fare has to include an asterisk behind the fare class (O*) in able to qualify, and O does not qualify, is that the correct assumption? Or as long as I booked the flights on aa vacations, it will qualify regardless of fare class? Question 3, who want to do this with me? lol
