Strange Account Posting - 1 EQD (Elite Qualifying Dollar)
Happened to notice this morning that there is a posting in my activity history on 4/28 - No description, ticket number, or PNR notation. 0 EQS, 0 EQM, 1 single EQD. Haven't flown anywhere in the past 3 weeks or so. I've already requaled this year, on my last flight, which also rolled the odometer over 6MM lifetime. I have already received new EXP and 6MM tags plus SWUs, so I don't think it is related to that, so what gives?

I sent a screenshot (below) to AA's Twitter team. They replied, "To be honest, we're not exactly sure either. We're going to dig a little deeper into this on our end. If you have any additional questions regarding your account, you can call ACS at 800-882-8880."

I noticed this last year when I crossed the 40k spend for the 10k EQM. I would say it is related to crossing that (or maybe another) earning milestone.

My guess is given the limitations due to COVID, they are extending a courtesy to all FF's and preventing their miles from expiring due to no activity. This probably counts as activity on the account and thus resets the timer for another 18 months before mieage expiration

Like robertablake's screenshot, my posting also shows "ADJBN" which seems like it's some sort of "ADJ"ustment. However, I can't find anything that's been adjusted, like status expiration, SWU expiration, etc.

If ADJ = adjustment, could BN = bank?
I was about to guess (as posted above) that it's some device to prevent redeemable miles from expiring due to inactivity during the pandemic. If might be easier for IT to just issue the $1 spend credit.

I have had several back and forth with AA Twitter team today. They are still looking into what caused this posting. I will certainly report any definitive findings from them.

I don't think it is this reason. I have miles posting every month on my AAdvantage account, so I am not in the need of an extension as my miles expiration is always at the max date.
