...does anyone else log onto their account at midnight CST (1am EST, 10pm PST) to see their YTD EQM/EQP/EQS go down to zero and then get a bit depressed...
...and then energized to plan to do it all over again?!
Happy New Year to all!

I just did a mileage run today to make EXP -- miles posted right as EQM went to zero, but i'm still stuck at platinum. Is that normal? I thought once the miles posted, my EXP status would appear.

You bet! Just made EXP for the first time ever trucking across the Atlantic a week ago... now all those glorious EQPs are gone... and I'm too exhausted after the three mileage runs in December to start thinking about requal yet! :-)

Oh goodie!!! Time to start all over again! ^^
I was kinda missing flying, since I finished my requal in August, and the elite rewards deal was not gonna happen since this year it was EQP based only.

Yep, takes about a day for the status to update. Your 2012 totals are still visible to AA even though the current mileage counters are reset online.
