If you feel that's less confusing... O.K.
I don't think anyone here was under the impression that AA gives free domestic upgrades-- maybe I'm wrong about that.
So, knowing that full well-- no free domestic upgrades on AA-- as a mid-level elite you can (not everyone) potentially earn 200% bonus on each and every flight-- before any promotional bonuses, class of service bonus, etc. This applies primarily to folks who have a heavy international travel schedule.
OR, instead of the 200%,
any AA member can earn the 100% elite bonus and get a small percentage of their domestic flights upgraded for free.
Maybe putting that "OR" in there makes it clearer, as you suggest.
For absolute clarity, I'll make this "offer"; anyone here wants more info on AAdvantage, contact me via e-mail and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
It would be my pleasure.
