Somewhat agree. However it doesn’t seem like this was a blanket offer to all Globalists. And Hyatt gave AA CK globalist so it is kind of a 2 way street.

Will I take some AA flights because of this - sure, but I barely make AS MVPG each year so AS will still be my preferred carrier so at least this newly minted AA EP won’t really be competing for upgrades that much.

And since I believe AA uses 12-month rolling EQD as a tie breaker for two EPs it doesn’t seem like too many of the comp’d EP should beat out those that actually earned it.
