I read the terms of the promo here: http://www.aa.com/viewPromotionDetai...N=DblElite.xml
The terms say that only registration prior to travel is required, not registration prior to booking like it did on the last DEQM promo.
Does this mean that rebooking is not necessary for people with existing itineraries?

Reservation must be booked on or after October 27, 2011, to be eligible.

How often does AA check accounts for the double eqm promos? Say I do a qualifying r/t the third week of December and AA doesn't check for the double eqm promo until midway January 2012. Will the double eqms post for the previous year or apply towards the 2012-2013 count?
I'm just worried that if they don't sweep the accounts before the years end, this may all be worthless towards my current milage count for status in 2012.

From the T&C:
Bonus elite qualifying miles earned in conjunction with flight activity during 2011 will count towards your 2012 membership year; bonus elite qualifying miles earned in conjunction with flight activity during 2012 will count toward your 2013 membership year.

I'm disgusted with these "targeted" offers. My money spends just as well as those with the targeted addresses, and I'd have spent it for DEQM. I just finished a platinum challenge and looked forward to maintaining it in a long and exclusive relationship with AA, but this kind of crap kills it for me. Instead of shooting for EXPLAT, I guess I'll be an ex PLAT.
Sure, AA has the right to target customers in 3 states if that's their strategy. I don't dispute that. Don't blame customers like me in the other 47 for feeling as if we've been flipped off, though.

I hope the AA Executive office hears enough complaints that they remove the booking requirements.
I have two ORD-SFO trips in Nov which I booked 12 days ago....ARRRGH
I'm not sure rebooking and eating the change fees is worth it, although if the DEQMs hit properly it would put me over the 50K miles mark and make me PLAT...$300 is alot of change for higher status.

I wonder if one would get the DEQM and DRDM for both the DFW-LAX, LAX-ORD portions if you booked an AUS/DFW/LAX/ORD/LAX/DFW/AUS route?

You live in one of "those" States. Don't you know that the only States that matter are CA, IL, and TX?
Seriously, anyone who lives outside of the targeted area has every right to be ticked. On the other hand, perhaps a relocating will solve the issue.

I have a friend who is LT Gold and has been PLT for a few years now. His knowledge of these "tricks" to getting status is novice at best. He didn't even understand what DEQM was until I explained it to him. He represents the majority of FFs in the AAdvantage program.
And interestingly, Mrs. Econometrics received the offer via email but I did not. Strange.
