I really like the concept of the email but the information does not seem very accurate at all. My top destination was an airport I visited one time for a quick connection. No percentage here either, probably don't want to know anyway!

Not a lot of consistency in those emails and, based upon what I'm reading here, some erroneous calculations...2017 Your year in review They say the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. And we're grateful you've chosen to spend so much of yours with us in the skies.

167 Hours in the sky
5,5 Times flown around the World*
10 Destinations*
LAX Most Visited*
67,768 Bonus Miles from elite status
39,041 Award miles earned without flying
25+ Upgrades received
$100 Checked-bag savings
*These numbers include travel with American Airlines, oneworld® airlines and partner airlines.
I find it interesting that not everyone was getting the same set of stats categories, and that some are AA only, whereas some include OW partners
LAX is most visited as a connection point, but if those count, my number of destinations would be much larger..

I also thought this was a neat email. As a platinum:
-37 hours (I believe this excludes a couple of long JAL flights)
-1 time around the world
-10 destinations visited with NYC #1
-5+ upgrades received (most of my travel is paid business or first, altho if that weren’t the case I’m not sure this number would be any better)
-$825 in checked bag fees saved

Technically, yes but my home airport is PHX which is the start and end for all my trips yet it listed Milwaukee as my most frequent destination - which is likely true as i travel there 10-12 times a year. That being said, I wonder if it is based somewhat off of your address? I know someone mentioned SFO as their most frequent destination but perhaps their address has them closer to Oakland as the home airport? Just a guess.

So my email told me that I am in the top 1% of EXP and my first thought was, "That can't be right." I got 9.5 times around the world, but I fly on a lot of low fares, so my EQD totals are nothing for AA to get excited about.

Have any CK’s our there received this yet? I haven’t received it, and would like to see my stats. Looks like a cool idea.
