Elite 1 - Now I need advice
Dear Group,
Next week I will have spent enought $'s to earn elite 1 status on TWA. AA has already sent me a Gold card, since I was Elite on TWA.
I have two questions?
1.
Will AA bump me up to Platinum next week?
2.
Since I have my TWA status, and the program looks to be ending soon. Wouldn't it make more sense for me to concentrate on AA flights? In other words, I don't think I can get to TWA Platinum before they pull the plug.
Thanks for your help.

Remember though that TWA gives 1000 minimum miles on flights for Elite and above. While AA only gives 500 miles. So if you're planning on doing lots of short flights around the midwest you can rack up more applying your miles to Aviators TWA

Remember that for next year AAdvantage qualifying miles and Aviators qualifying miles will both be counted to determine your 2002 status.
So, taking TW flights and receiving TW credit will still count towards your AAdvantage status for next year.

While the two programs are still separate, it is not believed either two will comp a new status unless you formally request it. Even if you have requested and got a comp before. I dont believe the two programs will be transparent until the integration of systems on Nov 30. If its important before that time, I would call, and submit docs if necessary.
