AA Status Challenge Question
Hi Team,
I’ve never flown AA before but got quite alot of AA trips coming up (due to work) and saw on a few blogs that if you call up CS, you can pay upfront a fee to get into their status challenge. I think I’ll try for the Plat Pro challenge. A few questions:
1. Is this still a thing? I haven’t actually seen it advertised on their website.
2. Can I email the helpdesk instead of calling? Any experiences doing this?
3. I have Air NZ status - will this help my case?
4. What prices have you guys been quoted for trying to start a Plat Pro challenge?
Thanks in advance!!

..In phase one, each elite tier requires earning the following number of Loyalty Points (this is roughly one third of the normal annual requirements, which makes sense):
- The AAdvantage Gold status challenge requires earning 10,000 Loyalty Points in the first four months
- The AAdvantage Platinum status challenge requires earning 25,000 Loyalty Points in the first four months
- The AAdvantage Platinum Pro status challenge requires earning 42,000 Loyalty Points in the first four months
- The AAdvantage Executive Platinum status challenge requires earning 67,000 Loyalty Points in the first four months
