Does anyone remember whether or not AA-coded codeshares are valid? I only used AA
metal last year but have a trip to HKG that I could use an AA coded CX flight for.

The whole page is down now, rather that the registration just being invalid.
I hope they haven't read FT and decided to can the whole promo! :confused:

That would be awfully Delta of them, wouldn't it? :D

The era of passengers spending $1800-$3000 -- maybe even less out of pocket -- and becoming EXP seems to have entered the picture again in more ways than was the case in recent years.

In light of DEQM chanp's suggestion in another thread of three LAX-BOS-ORD-DME-ORD-BOS-LAX will net you EXP, 100-150K RDM (depending on initial status) for $1600 or so if done thur-mon. There will be some extra costs on the ground though.

BTW how was the promo status update and status bonus handled in the past? If one crosses PLT w/DEQM will all following flights (even on the same itinerary) include PLT bonus?

I'm doing something like that once I can figure out ITA. :)

GITU is pleased!

Miles post and status is updated 6-8 weeks after the promotion ends...
This amounted to Aug 2008 IIRC.

Just to clarify: did they retroactively credit status bonus miles for the flights after the qualifying segment? Thanks.

No.

You will reach Plat for example, when the bonus EQM post 6-8 weeks after the promo period and are treated as Plat from then on, not at the theoretical point when you would have hit Plat if they had been posting the miles flight by flight.

What if you signed up for a challenge and were using these flights to reach your challenge?

What about it?

Cheers.

GITU Mar 17, 2009 4:00 pm

Would you not reach Plat until after the 6 weeks in August or would it be based solely on points and this promotion means nothing?

Unless somehow it has been missed - challenges are based on points and not miles.

Try to stay focused to the OP. Search/ask challenge questions in the appropriate sticky.

Really sticks that it is for new reservations. :mad:

hiltonlondon2009 Mar 17, 2009 4:27 pm

Hmmm, I read through most of the posts and maybe I missed it, but I'm surprised no one mentioned how many more EXPs we will see next year :)
