First Mileage Run to AA Executive Platinum Status Booked!

We’ve finally received email confirmation: American Airlines is going to honor the “Fast Track Your Way To Elite Status” promotion, much to the delight of people who registered in time and to the chagrin of many current AA elites.

I received the following email today, confirming my eligibility for the promotion as I don’t currently have elite status with American.

Although I’ve deemed it mostly irrational for me to take advantage of this promo, I just booked my first mileage run, which will get me over halfway to the 30,000 miles needed for Executive Platinum. I’ve got another mileage run in mind which will get me the rest of the way there, but I’m now just kicking myself for not playing that silly Planes game a couple of weeks ago and getting a 10% off AA flights promotion code…
