I have a poor understanding how elite status qualification works with AA, I apologize in advance. Assuming you quoted based on RT, as I'm only a base member, even 4 RTs of this fare, it's still not even enough to qualify for Gold/Ruby which requires 40k LPs iiuc.
it's a good insight for AA flyers, though.
I haven't decided who to credit to, but probably to AS, the I fare gives 150% of the distance flown, so about 13k miles. Or possibly more. AS has rolled out a red carpet for disgruntled DL elites, I just applied for a status challenge, for my second time. They have once in a lifetime language, but I'll see.
