thank you for explaining that.
im getting ready to do a AA platinum challenge but will hit AA platinum pro by the end of the year.
if I pay for the Platinum challenge to instantly obtain status. Will those initial EQM I fly start counting towards stickers ? Or will the same theory apply where I wouldn’t start earning stickers until flying atleast 25K EQM to achieve gold status the traditional way ?
I’m hoping to use them on a smaller Caribbean route two months later.
