Will I exceed minimums for Platinum on the challenge? If I make the challenge, how long will the status be valid?
Thr first trip to LAS (assuming that the connections are separate flights, or not the same flight number) = 4454
The second R/T (same assumption as above) = 4813
The third R/T = 2433
Total = 11700 miles or 17,550 QPs
More than enough to complete the challenge. As a matter of fact you will make Plat sometime during the second R/T.
Plat status will be good till 2/07 and if you don't requalify next year you should only drop to Gold till 2/08.
That said, please read the sticky above and check
www.aa.com for QM-QP conversion rate and finally go to
http://gc.kls2.com to figure out the mileage between cities. This stuff has been explained ver nicely in the sticky above.
Good luck!
