My fantastic American AAdvantage elite fast-track offer

American AAdvantage sent me an email for a fantastic targeted elite fast-track offer. Currently, I do not have any elite level membership with AAdvantage. In 2013, I was American AAdvantage Platinum elite and I flew US Airways to San Francisco to Dublin last November.

Here is my fantastic American AAdvantage elite fast-track offer:

AAdvantage elite fast-track 2015 offer

AAdvantage Gold only requires 6,000 elite-qualifying miles EQM. A single round-trip to Europe, South America or Asia can earn AAdvantage Platinum with 12,000 elite-qualifying miles. I’ll be looking for the return of those $600 fares to Brazil.

SFO-GIG $558 AA June 2010

San Francisco to Rio de Janeiro via JFK is 14,444 EQM. This $558 fare is from May 2015. I’ll be searching for deals like this over the next month.

At 30,000 EQM, I can earn Executive Platinum with the elite benefit of systemwide upgrades and waived award fees. That elite level can be reached in two long-haul international trips.

Elite status with this offer is valid through February 28, 2017.

I had to register for this offer by July 7. My registration was completed yesterday.

*****

Needless to say, my future air travel plans for August and September will be focused on Oneworld airlines. I was planning to take a trip somewhere in the USA in September. Now, it looks like I will be planning an international trip or two when another low fare long-haul itinerary comes around with Oneworld airlines.

    Holy cow! How do I get one of these offers? I’ve already got trips booked that would get me to ExPlat!

  • Ric Garrido June 22, 2015

    In the past 30 minutes I have found American Airlines itineraries to Rio de Janeiro and Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam that will earn 30,000 EQM for $1,700.

    SFO-LAX-NRT-SGN is $884.40 September 2015 for 17,022 EQM.

    SFO-JFK-GIG is 14,745 EQM round trip for $850. SFO – Sao Paulo is $723.

    Choices and decisions to contemplate.

    SFO-CGK Jakarta, Indonesia at $740 round trip on aa.com with Japan Airlines codeshare flights earns 17,500 EQM.

  • Nick H. June 22, 2015

    I’d really like to know if anyone else got this offer. I’m afraid they will see that I have two booked trips coming up and not extend this offer, since I would easily qualify. Oh well.

  • Karung99 June 22, 2015

    Ric, that is a great fast track offer, depand on your travel plan next year, if you are going to fly a lot on AA Go for it.

  • TravelerMSY June 22, 2015

    rick, what was the subject line of the email?

  • KennyH June 22, 2015

    I agree – how do we get this offer? I am lifetime Platinum (almost to 3MM – got lifetime at 2MM), but I have never made Exec Platinum. We are flying FIRST DFW-LHR, CDG-DFW over the next 14 days. I might be able to get Exec Platinum if I could sign up for this!

  • Ric Garrido June 22, 2015

    Email title is “Fast track to AAdvantage elite status” and I received it June 19.

    The email lists my AAdvantage number and included a 5-digit alphanumeric code to enter on the fast-track promotion registration page.

    The web address is specific to my account and the page shows my AAdvantage number which is why I do not have a link to share.

  • TravelerMSY June 22, 2015

    Thank Ric. No luck here, unfortunately. Maybe it’s because I’m lifetime Gold already.

    I don’t hear about a lot of these going out. Do you think it might have been targeted to media/travel industry types?
