Changes to AAdvange Loyalty Ranking in 2017?
 

I heard that AA may be changing how they rank you within each tier (for upgrade lists, etc.) in 2017:
Current: Tier (EXP,PLAT,GLD), plus when upgrade was requested
2017?: Tier (EXP,PLAT,GLD), plus miles flown YTD

Is there any truth to this? (I heard it from an AA booking agent)

The best place to find information about the AAdvantage program is in the American Airlines forum, located here:
