If you're going to keep flying AA and earn 25K EQMs or EQPs in the next ten months, which by FT standards is not that much flying, go for it. If you're not going to fly AA much or at all, the practical value of a shiny gold card is small. (The flights that get you to the Challenge threshold also count toward requalification.)
