These have gone fast ... used the 55H1BG promotion to book an itinerary on the 8th $110 ai - wide open seat map ... just tried to add my daughter to the same itinerary, and it's now $455 to get her on the same flight, or anywhere near the same arrival time as us.

It's still a reasonable MR to get the challenge completed. It's not the best deal around, but consider it's a normal $99USD one way, that's an amazing deal. This is basically the same as $99 one-way but you got DEQM.
However, for another deal for LIR, one would still go for that because it's not as restrictive(Oct only for DFW-SFO/LAX), and it's even better in terms of CEQM.

Just got the email and not complaining but trying to figure out the logic here for AA.

I presume these book into deep discount fare so SFO-DFW @ 1464 miles per segment one would need 7 segments in order to complete a Gold challenge and 14 for Plat. That's still not cheap
Gold for 18 months for $140 (fee) + $420 = $560
Plat for 18 months for $240 + $820 = $1060
Alas I don't fly AA much anymore and my Alaska and Qantas flights don't count towards the challenge. But maybe tempting as a mileage run for others particularly those who can use the status

Nobody, not even VX, has matched this fare, so AA is probably backtracking (and filling its planes with loss-making customers).
I am sure AA's intent is to bleed/bankrupt VX, especially after their "you deserve better than your stodgy old airline" ads in the metroplex, but VX is not biting.

If you need an SFO code, you might want to try 18H1BD. Only half the savings of 55H1BG, but so be it.
(Actually, for the puny discount, you might be better off booking at one of the third-party sites and getting their points, perhaps with a airfare/hotel package.)
You can also try 73H1BX; 10% but it is embargoed 13-19 October.

The trick is to book it with out your Advantage number then after purchase go back and add it to the reservation.

The good/bad idea is a judgement call. If Itin 1 is too late getting back to DFW for you to make Itin 2 you will be out of luck.
