I was approved in 1 minute. They say it takes 7-14 days but it doesn’t. However I flew my activating flight on Monday and I flew back home Friday and now it’s Saturday and my status still isn’t showing.

I am flying to Paris this next week on AA so I hope the status updates in the next week.

The challenge starts with the activating flight. All this stuff is listed in the T&C.
