Just made EXP / Executive Platinum! Resources, ask questions, brag (2019+)
First, a hearty welcome to Executive Platinum status!
New Executive Platinum members, whether "self-made", via your Concierge Key nomination or made by AA offers, including challenges, to similar status holders from competing airlines, often have questions about how the program works.
Feel free to post your questions here, but also be aware many of your questions about American Airlines, AAdvantage and Executive Platinum status can be answered in these resources:
● Link to What are Executive Platinum / EP / EXP benefits? Are they worth it? (consolidated) thread on FT
● Link to AAdvantage Elite Status guide and charts on aa.com
● Link to "FAQ: American Airlines and AAdvantage - Please check here first!" thread.
● For older posts, please see:● Link to AAdvantage Elite Status guide and charts on aa.com

Any other EPs not being offered callbacks during extended phone queue times? Called several times today and Wally advised of the wait in minutes (10+) and never offered for a callback choice. Usually a female voice shares the approx wait time and asks to callback, "you will not lose your place in line," etc)

EXP, still haven't requaled, sitting at 128,181 EQM and $14,286 EQD. I might not get over the hump until Sept at this rate! All I have in July/Aug is a cheap Y fare I SWU'd to J JFK-CDG-JFK and a BA Y flight NCE-LGW, not sure those together will do it. Might have to wait for NYC-JFC-CUN in early Sept.

I' currently inside the 90 days of a challenge, as part of the Hyatt crossover thing. My end date is mid-August. If I make EP through the challenge, will I get 4 SWUs to use through 31 January 2020, in addition to the 4 to use through 31 January 2021? The wiki and aa.com seem clear on this (yes); but just double-checking to make sure that there is not an exception or some such for folks qualifying through this or other challenges. TIA

Yesterday's flight back from NRT posted, requaled at:
EQDs: 15,355
EQMs: 146,808
EQSs: 49
No more AA flights until September....so will have to wait until then to pick up those next two SWUs.

Would have crossed over at the earliest ever with two r/t flight in next two weeks JFK-LAX/SFO but biz class pricing was above corporate max so I have to use a combination of Delta and Alaska instead. Too bad.

They did on the off cycle in May via an email exchange where I laid out my potential future plans as I have the flexibility to choose multiple airlines to support me to Europe and Asia. Well worth it to them even though I ended a little lower at $82k and 240k before my holiday. Starting back up in a couple of weeks so should be to $115k and 305k EQM by the first week of Sept. Would be nice if they brought back the 300k milestone again.

New to Exec Plat and still trying to navigate the upgrade rule when with a traveling companion. I'm looking to book two award tickets for us (same reservation) and during the booking it's breaking out the 4 segments of the reservation and stating that 1 500-mile upgrade will be required for each, which I assume is because my traveling companion is just a general aadvantage member, which is fine.
My question is - should my Exec Plat comp upgrade clear will my companion clear with me or will they be at the very bottom in a different upgrade position?
