No. Not that I know of. As another poster mentioned above, there was quite a bit of debate over what "special offers" meant/means in the statement "Status acquired via nomination, status match promotion, or special offers are not eligible." I think now, in the absence of certainty, I must've come down on the side of their not counting for earning AA upgrade certificates. And since I ended up with 100K EQM without the BoA offer, it became less important for me to be certain. Apologies if I caused anyone concern with my statements above about their not counting. I was clearly wrong.
