AA qualification requirements
Some of the past status matches have been miles or points.

Of course, you're the one that thought UA made a smart move going with Shares

(so-who-cio-now)By and large I think Shares has settled in. We'll never know if keeping with Apollo would have been a better decision but now the the sUA folks seem comfortable with the changes, things are improving.
But thanks for throwing us off topic.

Maybe it came from a credit card company, or even a list that came from companies that provide credit ratings. Could AA have bought a list from one of them with certain parameters (income, location, spending patterns like airline ticket purchases)?

I never recevied this email. I called AA on Friday and they sent me an email asking for proof of 1K as well as 2013 summary of travel. I sent them the information on Friday and I have an approval for conditional Exp Platinum through April 13, 2014. See email below.

Well, I was offered the Platinum status through May 31, 2014. For this to continue through Feb. 2015 all I need to do is fly 12,000 miles!
Is this a no brainier or what?
I am sick and tired of putting up with all the <garbage> from United over the past couple of years.
GOOD BYE UA

I called the Advantage Customer Service and they transferred me to the challenge desk total wait time was about 20 minutes on a Friday night.
Only thing strange is that they will NOT count US Airways flights towards challenge!!!

Has anyone who responded to this for the Gold promotion got the 10 500 mile upgrades deposited yet? To the best of my ability I have looked but can't find them under upgrades. Booked a trip on AA because of this for next week and would like to try to use them.
