Continuing the AA challenge confusion.. I have a few questions:

I understand how the point system works, but how long do I have to meet this challenge.. i.e. the rest of 2002?
If so am I only gold/plat for 2002 and NOT 2003?
I take it you can NOT qualify by segments on AA?
I have less than 5K in my AA account, would I be better off signing up from scratch for a whole new FF account and taking any sign up bonuses?

I may be wrong, but according to the FewMiles' AAdv website (last time I checked), the challenges are: is 5000 points for Gold, 10,000 for Plat. You can sign up for both challenges and forget the comp, but you wouldn't get the Gold bonuses and upgrade points until you qualified for gold. IF you have time to get a Gold comp, you would get bonuses (and those points that count for upgrade stickers) on first flight. Just make sure to sign up for Plat Challenge before first flight.. Princess, on discount Y for this route only, you would qualify for Plat on your first leg of 3rd R/T (I think..lol). Now, the only problem is the AA routing; I am not familiar enough with AA yet to know their routes/planes..</font>
