Mine too, and it's pretty aggressive. But I'll beat it with some well-timed, already-booked discount P fares.

Did anyone else see the T+Cs for this yet?

TAXES. Any valuation of the AAdvantageŽ miles stated above is based on available information provided to the Sponsor. The value of the AAdvantageŽ miles will be taxable to participants as income. All federal, state and local taxes and any other costs and expenses associated with the acceptance and/or use of AAdvantageŽ miles not specifically provided for in these official rules are solely the participant’s responsibility. Participants are solely responsible for reporting and paying any and all applicable taxes.
Emphasis mine, source: https://aadvantagechallenge.aa.com/t...cial_Rules.pdf

In short, seriously?

Really, what was it? Mine was only 1200 EQP, which I did on the first day.
Congratulations, you beat your goal!
The 2,500 miles have posted to my passport already.
I also knocked out the international flight (posted on passport), oneworld flight, and US flight this weekend, but those are showing on the passport yet.
Have 3,835 miles so far.

I got 16,200... I'm definitely unliking the promo and chalking it up as another bait and switch/scam marketing ploy.

Whoa, you beat me, I got 13500 EQP, I wonder what they use to come up with the #, as I already had 2 trips in Business/First already booked prior to this promo starting, ORD-CLT-SJU, and ORD-LHR-BRU. No problem in meeting this, I also have a ORD-SFO-LAX-MIA-YYZ-ORD in coach. I will also complete the extra bonus flights, with the exception of the Shuttle.

My guess it is based upon last years flying. Up until 3/21 I hadn't flown AA since 11/30/2012. Just happened to start flying again the exact day the promo started. ^

I think that's right. I also have a 1200 EQP goal and flew basically nothing in 2013, 2300 miles at the end of 2013. Flew 15k so far this year.

I don't have anything booked for the promo period, but I'm currently at ~44k EQM and 22k EQP for 2014. I'm actually logged in to book a roundtrip to China during the promo period, but that's less than half the EQP of the "goal"...
