Faster miles toward upgrades and bonuses
As a 'thank you' it is pretty rewarding. As a recognition that cutbacks in business travel will effect the elite status of all but the most frequent of flyers, it is a nice tip of the hat. As a stake driven into the ground, it is the start of a new season. The introduction of double elite qualifying miles for AAdvantage members when flying American, American Eagle and AmericanConnection through Dec. 15, 2009 is yet another example that 2009 may go down in history as the best year ever for frequent flyers. All those award sales, and who would have guessed that twice in a single year members of a specific frequent flyer program would be able to run for the Gold ... or Platinum at twice the speed of sound?
A couple things: you absolutely must register for this promotion to be eligible for the double EQMs. My suggestion is that all members register. Even those who may not normally known what an elite level is like could with the right circumstances find themselves in the elite circle of friends. Here's an example of how this may work for the not-everyday flyer. Let's say you live in Los Angeles and have a single flight planned to Paris by the (near) end of the year. Roundtrip that is nearly 13,862 miles when flying American Airlines. If registered for this promotion, you'll earn double miles toward elite status, that's over 27,000 elite miles, good enough with a single trip to earn you AAdvantage Gold elite status.
Big deal? Yes, for you and others. Earlier in the year when AAdvantage launched this promotion, so did other airlines to match. Good news for all and follow my single advice: YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS PROMOTIONAL BEFORE YOU FLY.
Don't miss a single elite mile, follow the link below to register NOW!
Also, AAdvantage is responding to the Delta SkyMiles elite program enhancements and rather than introduce 'roll over' miles for their elite members, is introducing Elite Rewards which offer choices of special benfits for elite members within each elite level. Designed to help elite members "stretch" their participation, you also have to register for this program and it can be done at any time at the same link below.
Regardless of your program, this news from AAdvantage means to start calling the airlines, mileage run season is coming a little early this year.
