that may be an IT glitch unless I’m missing something. Highest status earned between 3/1/23 and 2/29/24 will carry you through 3/31/25.

- Did not see any double dip with Simply Miles for the last ca, 6 months.

I gather the offers vary a lot among different people, but I currently see eg, lots of the wine clubs that are regularly on the portal, Stitch Fix, Harry&David, Best Buy just to name a few. The LPs don't always seem super high at first glance, but when you combine the SM and portal offers - and in my case a 30% bonus for each - the incremental earnings can be useful. Eg, I recently spent approx $180 on a gift subscription to Ancestry.com that yielded 2824 LPs from the portal plus 2,245 from SM.

I was able to double dip with LL Bean just a couple of weeks ago.

Still waiting for my Tommy Hilfiger SM/Eshopping combo to hit; the Eshopping hit last week, nothing yet from SM.

One leg in February and 2nd leg in March
 

Just looking to confirm, I’m looking to book a flight in late February and one leg would be last week of February and return would be 1st week in March. Pretty sure it would credit to the 23/24 status since that’s when I purchased and started the flight. OR would one leg post for 23/24 and 2nd leg for next status year?
thanks!

They post based on the date of the individual flights departure. So the first half would post for February (this qualification year) and the return would post for March (next qualification year). This may or may not be equal based on fare class.

I was thinking that might be the case. Interesting! Thanks for quick response.

Do LPs not posting until May 2024 count for 2023 250K LPR?
 

I'm new to chasing/optimizing LPs and new to this forum, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

I booked some Viator activities on 1/15/24 through Aadvantageeshopping, but it looks like the approx 12K of LPs won't post until after the Viator activities happen in May 2024. If it's true that the LPs will post with a January 2024 date, those LPs should be enough to get me to the 250K LPR threshold during the 2023 earning period ending on 2/29/24. Does anybody know if I would still be awarded the LPRs for the 250K threshold as late as May 2024 when these late-arriving LPs actually post? I'm trying to be strategic about my spend, and I don't want to waste any additional spend toward the 250K LPR threshold if those late-posting LPs from the Viator purchase won't count toward the current earning period. Would they maybe count for the 2024 LP earning period instead, or would they maybe just be lame-duck LPs in terms of status? Thanks for any insights!

Well I reached the 250K LP level yesterday by flying for work so I don't need my rocketmiles hotel res. Anyway I chose the SWU (2) and the other option I'm looking at choosing is either 30K Advantage miles or $250 trip credit. What do you think is more valuable?

Congrats, enviroian - I would choose the 30K AAdvantage miles. I value them more than $250.

it's weird, because the LPR (loyalty point rewards) say they have to be selected by 3/31/24, but there'll be people like you who retroactively cross the 250k LP threshhold to get their 250k reward. Sounds like a question for EXP customer service.

Just being nitpicky but this is really a question for AAdvantage Customer Service, not the EXP Desk.

It will be interesting to see how AA handles the few cases where a delayed posting causes someone to cross over a rewards threshold after 3/31.

Very good question. Did anyone find out?
