The link in the quoted post doesn't work - you have to include more of a URL for the bulletin board software to recognize one without the bbcode tag. It works if you copy it and paste it into your browser, or try this one:

Link to specifics of the offer

The price depends on whether you want to continue Gold or Platinum status and on how close to requalifying you were. You can't use this to buy a level you don't already have, and you can't use it if you used last year's similar offer. Despite an erroneous story in USA Today, the topic of a longish thread in the AA forum, there is no similar offer for Executive Platinum.
