That’s a wrap
Barring any surprises, I should be done for the year.
First year as an AA-first flyer (DTW-based DL elite, then STL-based DL/WN elite, now PHL-based). Generally pleased with EXP experience when I can get on a non-ER4 route.

My year is done. I pushed for PP by adding two unnecessary segments on my Christmas trip and here we are. We'll see what happens. Aside from a few long international trips I don't have too many plans yet for next year. But I was really close at the end of this year so figured it couldn't hurt?

EQD 9,200
EQM 83,500
EQS 21
Retained PPRO on my last TATL flight of the year, though I did have to get AA to recalculate the EQD on that flight as they missed the BA YQ surcharge.

Solid FF program IMO with great redemption partners.
Can freelance on the other carriers to fill in, if need be.
If AA was looking to thin the elite herd with all of the latest and sundry devaluations, in my case it worked.

So this didn’t go as planned. Outbound segment to LAX was delayed about an hour therefore I missed my return leg. I got rebooked into a later flight but in Y. I was able to get an earlier Standby flight. When I checked app I received 1000 EQM out but only 500 back so now I am 97 EQM short of EXP. I called AAdvantage line but they are closed until Monday. What are the odds I will get the additional 500 EQM I originally booked (or at least 97)? I don’t see any credit issued.
Final year totals:
EQD: $17,390
EQM: 100,403
EQS: 104

I know... don't really need 40k miles - sitting on plenty as is. 2 SWUs are more valuable, if I can use them. If not, I plan on doing exactly what you suggest - taking the 40k 365 days from now.

Sorry what does b6 mean? I thought about dl but they have the same schema as United and I like how I can earn eqd on AA by flying partners.

AS for me. I live in So Cal and my work travel is primarily in the Northeast. Lots of options on AS and, while their transcon product isn't the best, I can still travel in relative comfort for a good value.
