Ok, i've been looking at the AA site and at various itin's people have suggested.

If i book a DONE4 that combines flights/segments that takes me say 60,000 miles and i credit it to my AA account it will in theory net me 60,000 miles plus any COS bonuses that each airlines offers, but more importantly it will give me 60,000 x1.5 = 90,000 Qpoints?

If i connect my first flight on the DONE4 with a feeding flight from the UK and vice versa at the end using say a LHR-DXB-LHR then that should get me another 7k x1.5 = 10,500 points bringing me to a total of 100,000 q points thus requalifying for EXP?

I know this is simple stuff to a lot of you but i just want to check my thoughts before i start thinking crazy things. IF this is true then a well optimized DONE4 will allow me to retain my EXP during next years qualification time.

Thanks,

Chris
