... but, Efrem, AA Exec Platinums have an extremely poor domestic upgrade policy. NW Platinum Elites get unlimited and free - and on CO as well. AA requires the purchase or earning of upgrade stickers, except for full Y fares. One earns 4 500-mile upgrade stickers for each 10,000 *base* miles flown. So, to upgrade a round trip discount ticket on AA from my home base (RDU) to/from SEA via DFW would require me to fly 70,000 base miles to earn those stickers. Those 70,000 base miles flown on NW or CO almost qualify for Platinum Elite.
