Fast Track to Elite Status is back [HV2T1 & HV3T1, targeted]

I couldn't find any other discussion of this (surprising)...yesterday I received a flyer from AA inviting me to sign up for a promotion to accelerated elite status:

Gold - 6000 miles
Plt - 12,000 miles
EXP - 30,000 miles

Need to register by 7/7 and travel between registration and 10/9 to qualify. It says it's a targeted promotion only available to people it's sent to.

Too bad I haven't any real travel plans.

edit: added a photo

I'd love to register for this. My next trip is to Australia, so I'd be PLT before I make it to my final destination. Anyone have success calling and asking to be included if you didn't get the e-mail?

Wow I wonder what made them do this

Is this the first type of promo giving away EXP (I said giving as opposed to matching) under Dougie boy?

I haven't followed this challenge type giveaway that closely in the last year or so; its quite possible I've missed them if they have had similar promos in the last 12-15 months

I just stumbled upon this thread

on that note, I'd love to do the EXP; I need to run to the mail box, mailman came a short while ago

Thanks for posting that picture. I gave it a shot and the website said my account isn't eligible for the promotion.

With the current EQP promos one could make EXP until Feb 2017 with a couple long haul paid J flights.

That's a very fast track, although 30K over 3.5 months is about a normal annual pace to EXP. I wonder how widely distributed this is and how much mileage they have accumulated so far this year.

The current EQP promo doesn't work for challenges. Not sure about fast tracks.

just wondering why they dont extend this to current exp in a way that lets say you requalify for exp before lets say July 31st you get extra SWU, so instead of 8 you get 10
(its all for my own selfish reasons of course)

Probably because if you're already EXP they know you'll probably already try to keep it.

It's miles or points, with no fees, right?
