Hello,

I'll be flying to Finland in September, which should bump me up to elite status with AA. I've never flown enough to qualify for elite status before, so I'm unfamiliar with all the rules. If my flight to OUL qualifies me for elite status, will I get the 25% bonus on my return flight, or will I have to wait for my next flight? Also, does the 25% mileage bonus apply to all oneworld flights(except BA transatlantic), even short domestic AY flights? According to aa.com, it looks like the elite bonus will kick in as soon as the miles are credited to my account, but I'd like to hear the opinions of the experienced frequent fliers here.

Thanks!
Ilves
