For folks who have received this, what is your current status with AA? Also, was this a 3-month trial or some such, or EXP for the full 2020 year?

Yes, gift. One domestic r/t flight on AA this year. Hyatt partnership made it worthwhile to pursue EXP... credited a JL J trip to AA. Currently Plat Pro and have a ~$300 EQD run next weekend to get me there anyway.

Interesting that they did this while you were on a challenge, although, if it came via your Hyatt concierge, it might not have been AA doing this. What do your Hyatt numbers look like? I wonder if AA gave Hyatt a certain number of ExPlat awards to give away.

0 AA miles this year.
LT Globalist
Currently at 48 nights (breakdown of 7CC nights, 4 Free, rest paid total spend with Hyatt YTD about $7000. Will end year with 60 nights)
Sounded to me like they had certain number to divide up and spread them amongst concierges. Concierges are contacting people and then need to pass lost back up for status to be upgraded. Currently have AA Platinum just because of the Hyatt match.
It is valid for all of 2020

Seriously? They are giving away a status that normally takes 100,000 miles or 120 segments and $15K in spend for free and you don’t think that’s generous??
I for one will not look this gift horse in the mouth.

Will I take some AA flights because of this - sure, but I barely make AS MVPG each year so AS will still be my preferred carrier so at least this newly minted AA EP won’t really be competing for upgrades that much.
And since I believe AA uses 12-month rolling EQD as a tie breaker for two EPs it doesn’t seem like too many of the comp’d EP should beat out those that actually earned it.
