Recently ( few days ago ), I became an Executive Platinum of AA. And it shows everytime I logged on AA.COM. I will be having a flight this sunday ( October 30, 2005 ) MNL-LAX on Business Class. When I called CX and gave my AA number , they said I am still sapphire. I have to call AA to update them. When I called AA office here in Manila, she said she doesnt know how to change my status with CX. She told me I can just print a copy stating that I am an Executive Platinum and show it to them. I wanna make sure that CX has to put Emerald as my status, coz the flight HKG- LAX Business class is oversold. So that I can wait in First class lounge in Hongkong and a top Priority when it comes to upgrading. So whats the best way how to deal with it?

Thanks in advance,
John

I think you need to ask CX to take you membership number off, then type it in again in order to update your status.

Few years ago, I was Green tier of CX when I book the flight, then later I turned to Silver tier. But when I check in, they said I am still Green. She asked the manager, and the manager told her to remove my memebrship number, then type it back again. The computer then showed Silver then.

I guess it is the similar case as yours, although it is different FFP program.

but do you think they will allow me in the first claas lounge with a print out from aa.com says executive platinum? and also i wanna be one of the top priorities for upgrading

I am pretty sure that if you show them the letter, they would let you in F lounge... But the thing is would they bother to change your status to ensure you have top prioirity to get upgrade...? (if you want to be the first to get bump up one class)

Sorry but if you're that eager, you're probably in for a disappointment. Hope it works out as you're hoping though...

I have been upgraded from C to F 2/ 8 now.. as a Platinum of AA. Well there's no harm in trying since it's overbook, all 0 availability from the lowest economy to the highest fare business class. and F4, A4... crossing my finger.
Does anybody knows the Executive Platinum number? Thanks
