Just a bump to say got 3 more reports via PM all reporting both success and none of the fumbling and confusion from previous years.
If you have over 150K EQPs -or- are above 125K EQPs and anticipate reaching 150 EQPs by year's end, definitely call in.

Apologize if this has been posted before, but I waited until after January 1st to make my call based on my 2014 travel. The extra VIPs I received were valid until 28 Feb 2017, rather than 2016 as I had expected.

EXP and Beyond [more than 100K EQP/EQM - what next?]
Haven't flown AA since the end of June, got the call from the executive office yesterday asking "how things are going"... Took them long enough, lol. On AA today for the first time in a while and am starkly reminded as to why I'm at DL every week these days. Back on topic... The person I spoke w/ from the executive office offered 2 SWUs, 30k miles, or a gift of Gold status to anyone. I had 145k EQP in first half of the year. She also told me that if I did another 30k EQP this year (won't happen) that I would get another choice of SWUs, etc.

Nice. Is this your first year taking advantage of the overachieving EXP program, just out of curiosity?

Emailed AAdvantage CS about any benefits for flying more than 100K EQPs (I am at about 115K).
Received a call back (not email), where I was offered the second plan of additional SWUs over 150K EQPs.
Curious-- has anyone been offered the first option of additional SWUs starting at 125K EQPs?
I guess it has to do with our Helix score for which one we get.

Are they only offering the SWUs if you have used up all of your existing SWUs or will they give you more even if you still have some in your account?
I have 160k EQP, will I get 2 or 4? or depends on Helix?
Should reach 175k EQP in November, should I call now and then in November again or wait until then?

I called around 188k and got 4 and I was thanked and to please call back when I pass 200k next month for 2 more.
I don't recall anyone saying they were rejected at 150k or 175k this year.

- Some overachieving EPs will be offered nothing additional,
- Some just a single pair of SWUs,
- Only a subset are eligible for 2 SWU per every 25k EQPs over w/ no limitation
The 125K vs. 150K as a starting point has been a source of constant confusion over the last few years, I've seen examples of both but, generally, 150K EQPs.
The link in my signature below has much background and factual historical info.

I don't think it matters if you call now and then call again or just call in November. If you need the SWUs now, call now, and if you don't, may as well call in November unless you're nervous and want to see them sitting there waiting to be used
