Thank to ALL who reply - very much appreciated.
Glad I asked - when I was speaking to the AA EXP desk earlier, I was sort of feeding the assumptions / questions and then ended up "self-answering" - the agent seemed very lost hence why I resorted to FT experts
Seems like IF I travel anyway and its in EITHER Dec or Jan / Feb, I better just push everything to Jan / Feb as it would get me an extra year of EXP.

That's very nice! The fare I was referring to was a $4000 CMB-DEL-TYO-LAX-JFK-DFW-GRU and return in J (full-fare) that would credit as "ticket/fare unavailable" earning around 120K EQM and $15K EQD :-:

Just wondering as to why the op would consider trying to get EXP within a month?
If you really dont fly that much, well none for this year,
If and when you do travel, just buy a J/F ticket and enjoy the ride.

I'd do it in January as well, if not to get EXP that month then at least to maximize the chances of maintaining a decent status level.

I was also thinking that if could not meet all the requirements in Jan 2019, it would still be advantageous to do the majority of them in Jan 2019 (while I'm still EXP) to get the EXP RDM bonuses. So for example, if I can make 80% towards EXP in Jan 2019, drop to PLT in Feb 2019, complete the 20% in Feb 2019, move back up to EXP (and get it until 2020), then I'll at least get the RDM bonuses for the 80%?

If you make it to 80% of the way towards EXP, then you'll drop to Platinum Pro (assuming you mean 80% on both EQM + EQD) until you hit the EXP requirements
