Yeah I just meant actually EARNING either one, not counting gifted versions.

Are you kidding me? CK or GS is what, $30k PQD in a year? $35k? Certainly $50k will get you there, right?

Before Noir was invite-only, it was 1M tier credits in a year, and when it became invite-only that number went up (it was based on many factors and the requirements were not published, but I heard, minimum 2M tier credits from gambling to even be considered -- they don't care about your hotel spend) I haven't been there in a while but if the earning has not changed it's 10 tier credits per $3 coin-in at slots. So 2M tier credits is $600k coin-in. Your average slots player is on the wrong end of a 10% edge, so that's $60k of expected loss in a year. Even if they can do a little bit better in the high limit room, maybe they are swimming upstream against an 8% edge, that's an expectation of -$48k. And that's the minimum to even be considered for the status (I'm guessing that someone with $50k theo in a year has no chance). I certainly did not get Noir the first year I broke 2M tier credits (all from gambling). Just to put it in perspective, I had weekends where I was down $50k and I was on the very very low end of Noir. I didn't even get invited -- I brought it up with my host, she said it was close, and would ask for me... and I got it.

Still think it's easier to get than CK? Most noirs have lost several times a CK's annual spend in a bad weekend.

You may find it ridiculous, but that's how it works. Again, my Diamond status came 2 years before I spent any significant money at Hyatt. Every program comps status to people. It's just not usually accompanied by a press release (and I guess now we know why)

Let's say someone was hungry and crazy enough to want to earn the Exec Plat level in the quickest manner possible according to the specs below, two r/t's to SIN from my mid-west departure city for example would do the trick? Any quicker way?

Well now I have a decision to make. I just bought a discount first class BA ticket to India ($4500rt; great deal). At 2x EQM and 30% of miles flown as EQD, this trip would get me from zero to ExPlat.

I was planning on crediting to AS for 75k status but if I credit to AS I can get ExPlat... which is OW Emerald, right? I plan on doing a lot of award travel next year, mostly on OW (lots of AS and AA miles)... that emerald status would be nice. I could finally get into those first class lounges when flying intra-Asia flights that don't have an F cabin.

The thing is, it earns 100k RDM on AS, and I really don't want to give that up...

joe_miami

I just received this same offer.

The "quickest" way would be to spend $5,000 EQD on a flight(s). Otherwise, somewhat oddly, AA allows people to mileage-run status by flying on partner airlines, which can yield up to 30% EQD based on miles flown rather than dollars spent.

My AAdvantage offer as an Explorist:

jameswes

As no AA status and WoH Globalist, I got the following AA offer in email:
(Moral of the story is - DO NOT register right away. Wait until you have flights and then see if you can qualify for status. Register by 9/30 if you're not sure)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because you are a Globalist member, you now have the opportunity to enjoy AAdvantage® Platinum status while working to achieve up to Executive Platinum status through January 31, 2021.
Once you've linked your accounts, please allow 1-2 days to view this offer in your AAdvantage® account. Be sure to register by September 30, 2019.

I'm curious how long it takes after registering for the Globalist or Explorist offers (that include an immediate upgrade to Plat or Gold status, respectively) for the AAdvantage account to reflect the updated status. I'd like to register as close as possible to my next flight, but also want to be sure that the flight counts toward the challenge and, less importantly, that I get elite benefits for that first segment. It would be helpful if someone for whom it makes sense to register immediately would share how long it takes for their status to be upgraded in AA's systems. Thanks.

For me, immediately. It actually errored out when I clicked on Register, but after I logged out/back-in it reflected Plat status and I was able to select an MCE seat for an upcoming flight.

Visconti

Received the email too. Ex Plat or credit to AS/CX? Gonna flip a coin on this one, I guess. In my view, CKs getting Glob isn't such a big deal, if they aren't given the TSUs.

joe_miami

Do we know one way or the other? I know TSUs are now based on nights rather than status, but Hyatt could always make exceptions.

kauppias

Received the Gold fast track offer, even though I dont hold any status currently on AA I will pass on the offer. For Platinum I might have done some AA flying pro or EXP for sure but Gold just doesnt do a thing for me

But I am sure its a nice addittion to domestic members 👍

bosman

Ditto, although the site says only 1st and last names need to match. I also see "Mr." in my Hyatt profile which is not in my AA profile. Sent an email yesterday, hope it gets resolved sooner than later as I have an AA flight tomorrow and would like to get Hyatt points.
