PLT to EXP After June 15, EXP till 2008?
I did do a search and from my understanding (though much was quite old) if currently a PLT uppon reaching 100K after june 15th you will be EXP through Feb. 2008.
I just want to make sure because my wife has a trip she can take before June 15th or after. If she goes before she will be at 99,664 miles on June 14th and over 100K on June 16th. If she does the trip later this summer she won't hit 100K until July 5th. I wouldn't want her to loose that extra year cause AA changed the rules last week! thx.

The June 15th date only applies to challenges.
If you were to fly 100,000 miles by January 15th, 2006 you would get EXP through February 2008. Qualification by miles/segments/points is for the remainder of the current year and the next membership year.

Well thanks! I guess I'll have her change the routing by a few hundred miles and go ahead and make EXP now. Again, thanks.

Also be aware that if you get 125K EQMs/EQPs by December 31, you get the special EXP anniversary bonus. See here:

Any Elite regular qualification from Jan 2006-Dec 2006 would result in the newly earned status through Feb 2008.
