Yes I did it. My spend was 2x the threshold for platinum but not enough segments. Successfully convinced them to bring me to platinum. Did have to escalate it and mentioned I would match to delta.

Lie to them, saying I’m going to travel a lot this year so want to maintain status, if not will fly another airline for bus travel...I did that one year and it worked

True. The other way to get the royal treatment - pay for first class tickets.

Didn’t work for me a couple years ago when short 700 miles to platinum pro. Have been able to convince Delta before. I think AA is more strict.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Any thoughts on the JW Tucson Starr Pass Resort right now? We had booked a trip to get away from the snow but it looks like it’s half shut down right now.

I am stranded in a foreign country, was traveling for personal reasons, because AA cancelled my flight citing weather concerns but is flying other flights at the same time. Is there a way for me to 1. Get an alternate flight that is not painful. 2. Escalate and get compensation? Thank you.
