Note that, with (presumably) 2 days off each for Xmas and NY, and 2 weekend days per week, 14 business days is 2 days shy of 4 weeks. So, relax. It's only been 7 business days since Dec 19. Jan 14 will be 14 business days.

I requalified for Globalist at the very end of the year and got a call from my Concierge a few days ago with the offer.
I doubt I've been on more than three or four AA flights in my life.
I'm one of the folks who are going to get squeezed out of United 1k with the new requirements. I'm in Houston, so AA is not ideal, but this adds some extra motivation to make the break from United to being more of a free agent.
Flights from Houston to Punta Cana for a vacation this summer are $400 cheaper on AA (with a connection) than the non-stop on United. I may ultimately go with the non-stop, but I would not have even looked at AA without the offer. It'll undoubtedly get me on at least a few AA flights this year, so this will drive a little additional revenue to AA that they wouldn't have received without making the offer..

I'm thinking this was more about number of different Hyatts and maybe level of Hyatts. Granted, I don't think I had a single Park stay in 2019, but I had mostly Andaz/Grand level and very few House/Place stays. I also had them on three continents, and I needed to get to each of these places, hence AA. I can see why they'd target me over someone who stays at all House/Place locations within driving distance of their home.
I had a lot of Hyatt award stays in 2019, plus a bunch of cc nights and a few work trips at HP with Corp rate.
Still have no clue how they chose who to target.

So did you get targeted or not? I’m currently AA Plat Pro, qualified back in July. Globalist, with 61 nights. Asked my Concierge last week if there is any love for me and was told my name is not on the “list”. It’s all good.
I am lifetime AA platinum, had a bunch of paid flights in 2019 and some scheduled for 2020. All coach. A lot of award travel too.

Inquired about this offer via email with my concierge and received a call a few days later informing me I qualified for the offer. She was “behind” on these as well but I don’t think these are targeted. Seems like if you inquire you will receive. This is a nice perk for globalists. Guess I’m flying AA this year 😀

I qualified for Globalist for the first time this year, but not until 12/26. I mentioned the AA elite program to my concierge. Obviously, I was not on the spreadsheet. My concierge suggested that I contact AA,

Sorry, I should have been a little more clear. My concierge has been out of the office since early November, so I've been handled by a several different agents who respond while she is out. I emailed my concierge asking if I was targeted and received a call the next day from another agent. She confirmed I was targeted and said they hadn't reach out yet because my concierge was out of the office. She signed me up on the phone.

Has anyone been targeted who DID NOT link their AA accounts? That seems to be the only common denominator I've noticed (outside of being a globalist)
I can be 100% wrong, and probably am, but I personally think the concierges chose them. Maybe they chose a bunch of random people, but were also told to choose their favorites. I've had a great relationship with my concierge and it appears that people on the the WOH facebook groups who were all targeted all had great relationships with their concierge as well

Of the free perks I've been privy to, admittedly could be a very small number overall, this one is the most valuable, in my view. The Noir is nice, but aside from stated benefits the Vegas hotels aren't going to offer anything aside from the bare minimum. Free Globalist is pretty valuable for AA's members, but I've read somewhere they didn't include the TSUs.
AA EXP SWUs are worth $5,000+ if used judiciously and OWE is a tremendous perk for int'l travel, not to mention the elite status available to leverage matches with others. While most carriers require proof of activity, a nicely worded explanation and promises of future business would likely meet with success.

Lol just contacted concierge by email:
Here is the answer I got:
That last sentence is really confusing the hell out of me…. I have not complained about WOH, and Don't find WOH bad except the names and cards which are horrendous imo…. Is that a way of telling me no you're not eligible? but then why say that and not I am sorry, but you're not eligible…..
Hello,
First of all best wishes for this new years and I hope you had a nice holiday.
I have heard through some other hyatt guests that there is an offer going on right now to get matched to American Airlines Executive platinum?
I was wondering if I was eligible for this offer?
thanks a lot,
