Will those bonus points count towards a challenge? If someone signs up for a challenge say May 15, and flies half of the challenge requirements, can they still successfully complete the challenge?

I was seriously considering trying them out as it's only 75K for top tier and only have to fly half of that if you do it by June 30.
Seeing this means I'll stay with AA as I already am almost renewed PLT for next year, plus the possible extras if I can hit 125K EQM
Thanks AA!

I don't think so. That thread doesn't mention the 125K bonus.

Agreed. I'm not complaining. ^ And actually I've diverted a lot of my travel from AA elsewhere in the past 6 months, this is definitely making me consider bringing it back (to qualify for PLT, EXP for example).

Incredible offer and incredible timing! I've got at least 36k of flying b/w now and June 15th. That just became 72k+ Requalifying for EXP is not even a question now. Great timing, and I agree, not necessary to make up for last week's fiasco.
Is this a targeted promo only, or can any elite register?

Yes, and also an attempt to salvage their second quarter which looks disastrous. Bad news for EXPs as the already swelled ranks will grow exponentially.

Exponentially? I'm skeptical.
Still, last time AA did this the double eqm promo lasted about two weeks or so. Two months this time was overkill, IMO.

I'm now convinced that travel flown during the promo and prior to registering is kosher, but I'm still not convinced that travel booked prior to the registration period but flown during the promo period will be doubled. I've learned not to question brp, but I'd like to get some clarification around that point. And by the way, I'm having a crappy day today, so be nice.
