Hi was searching to figure why my last 10 trips are posting as regular fares even when using Chase Portal. Just curious - how did you come up with "Just enough points to trigger special fares". Searched but didnt find much useful info on it. Thank you

PE flight EQM posted as Y
 

I think there's an existing thread on this, but I can't find it.

I flew DFW-LHR on Saturday night in premium economy (P). I see today that it posted as economy (H). IIRC, people have reported this on flights which they upgraded, but that was not the case here; my systemwide upgrade didn't clear. (My mileage upgrade has cleared for my return.)

Just call AAdvantage Customer Sevice (not the normal reservations numbers) and they will fix it. Whether you cleared an upgrade or not, it's still the same issue of a PE fare posting incorrectly.

Yeah, just posting this as a PSA.

I have a similar situation going one as well. I flew PHL-DFW-HKG on a purchased PE fare. The outbound posted as standard miles. Just landed an hour ago from the inbound (HKG-LAX-PHL) and the TPAC leg posted as standard miles again. I did use mile$ to upgrade to J as well. I'll wait until the LAX-PHL flight posts to see if they catch it.

Here's an unrelated question: My outbound TPAC leg (DFW-HKG) posted sooner than my domestic leg (PHL-DFW). Second leg took hours while the first leg took 2 days to post. My return had the TPAC leg post within hours as well. Why do international legs seem to post so quickly?

I don't think there is any need to call - I had two flights like this earlier in the month and they both were corrected about 8-10 days after the flight without any intervention by me. Strangely I also 1.5 EQM on one of the domestic flights which was booked into H, but showed up as Economy (R). The other domestic flight showed as Economy (H) and earned 1.0 EQM.

I used to have to call customer service to correct this very same issue and it was happening on every trip booked into PE / upgrade to J with SWU; but on my last trip on Aug 10th, the EQM (1.5X) was posted correctly. I presume AA IT fixed the issue.

I am still having this issue as of today (so maybe its after a certain date):

• Ticket was put on hold on July 7th
• Called in and upgraded using SWU
• Flights tickets after i paid on the phone
• Took the flights the weekend of 8/25

Took the trip over the weekend - and all of my miles posted from LAX to HKG - with 7,260 each way (should be 10,890).​​​​​ Just called in and talked to them - and the guy could not see the original P fare - and had to open a ticket.

He said that it would be looked into and could take 1-2 weeks to be updated.

They'll likely get it done sooner.

I just had another LHR-DFW P-->C on 19 August post incorrectly. Emailed CS about it and was corrected within 2 days.

Any chance the most recent one was a 500-mile based upgrade versus SWU? Based on an extremely limited sample, it seemed to me like SWU-upgraded fares (to C) were still broken while 500-mile based upgrades (to R) were working correctly.

It was LAX-HKG booked in W and upgraded to C with SWU.
1.5X EQM posted 2 days after segment flown.

Huh. So, it appears to just be inconsistent at the moment.

My DFW-LHR flight was re-posted overnight as well.

Interestingly, the email from customer service included this bit about my upcoming MUC-PHL-DFW return flight:

My PHL-HKG r/t reposted overnight. Strange, as if they hit a magic button and sorted us all out at once.
