Note: According to multiple data points on Nov 2023 - Hyatt stays that earn AA Loyalty Point accrual hit AA accounts on Tuesdays (and take up to 5-7 business days overall). To be eligible for Hyatt accrual you need AA status (gold or better) and you receive 1 Loyalty Point for every base $ spent at Hyatt.

I got my Plat Pro offer today. I'll say the quarterly amounts are kinda odd if you look at it for the long term. In all cases, meeting the 4 month requirements 3 times, the total you earned is either equal or HIGHER than the amount you need to earn that status organically
Gold = 3x10k and 30k organically
Plat = 3x25k and 75k organically
Plat Pro = 3x42k (126k) but 125k organically
EXP = 3x67k (201k) but 200k organically
So it's not lowering the criteria at all, just accelerating when you can receive it

Is your expiration 4 months from the day you registered or all the way back to like Nov. 29 or something when it was announced?
Have an Alaska-American roundtrip Apr 15/21 and would be only chance to use the status. Wasn't sure if it made a difference if I don't register until like Dec 24 and could I get 4 months starting at that point.

While at least one blog has published this is the case, the written T&C of Instant Status Pass contradict this:
Until reliable anecdotal evidence exists to the contrary, I would assume the written T&C is correct.

- Do your phase 1 LPs after March 1st
- Complete phases 2 and 3 as required - which would also fall into the March 2023 - February 2024 qualification window

You don't really need to rely on T&Cs to know that you can sign up today and:
- Do your phase 1 LPs after March 1st
- Complete phases 2 and 3 as required - which would also fall into the March 2023 - February 2024 qualification window

I’m confused about the timing a bit here. Many people seem to have gotten offers that require registration by December 29. That puts qualification on close to a calendar year cadence. The issue is that AA is now on a March to March calendar for qualification.
I registered yesterday. The language says:
“
Did I register in the 2022 or 2023 membership year? If I complete all three phases, so I have that status level for the rest of the 2023 membership year (basically until February 28, 2024) or the following membership year (until February 2025)?

My wife got the offer (I think to gold); I haven’t (currently globalist and plat pro).
any way to register if the offer doesn’t appear in my promotions tab?

I do see in the T&C that gudugan posted above where it says it's targeted; OTOH the Hyatt landing page after you link your accounts says, without qualification, "You’re eligible to register for American Airlines Instant Status Pass™ Your elite status in World of Hyatt gives you an exclusive opportunity to fast track to AAdvantage® status." So conflicting info, but oh well.
(FWIW I'm currently 60-night Glob, AA nobody)

I tried calling AA just now and was told it's a targeted promotion and it is not on my account, so they are unable to offer it to me.

Have not done AA in a while, but if I understand the current EQP program, I can use my CitiAA card to buy and fly a $1000 fare (or 2 for $500), and I will receive 1k x9 (Plat Pro bonus) = 9k EQP + 1k EQP for Citi = 10k EQP, which would be sufficient to attain Gold into the summer. Plat status would require $2k airfare + $5k on Citi before April 26.

Anyone tried registering today? I’m getting the error message “Our system is having trouble. Please try again or come back later.” Terms are to register by Dec 28, so it should be in the clear. I was targeted for the promo. I wonder if they cut off registration too early?
Update: had to call in to apply the promo before the deadline.

I've been trying to register today and received the same error message. I was also targeted. Guessing they closed it early even though it is still listed in the promo section.
