Quick Status Match Challenge - question please. I believe that I can match to MVP Gold form AA Platinum.

I have not flown AS for a few years but over Over the next 6 mths I will fly approx 60,000 qualifying miles so meeting the challenge requirements to maintain MVP Gold will be no problem but I am very unclear about how I then move up to 75k and even 100k. Is my 75K calculation based on starting at 0 for 2024 (ie so I would need 75,000 actual flown EQM's), or do I get a head start of 40,000 since I will be Gold.

Also If I do get the headstart would I be entitled to the 50k bonus miles etc when I get to 75K?

It's an important question for me since it's prob the difference between getting to OWE vs just staying at the Sapphire level which I already have as an AA lifetime plat

Appeciate any help. I did read a bunch of AS T&C's but couldn't see it explained anywhere.
