I had in mind to do a platinum status challenge this Nov when a RT to AKL in J should be enough by itself to qualify. AA just sent me an unsolicited offer of free gold from now until Sept. Would accepting the gold offer complicate or disqualify the challenge in Nov?

I’m mostly considering the offer (which has no special goal or offer to retain gold) for the free ten 500-mile upgrades, which I’m hoping would remain on my acct after losing gold in Sept but be usable again after satisfying the platinum challenge in Nov.
