Does American really make you pay to status match? Has anyone been able to waive the fees? Seems like a hefty barrier to entry that doesn't make a lot of sense

I told AA I was insulted they asked for a fee after almost 3 million miles and was moving my business to United. 3 months later a challenge was launched which I met and got my status back.

They have paid status challenges, but I don’t think that’s the case for matches

Yeah there's a match and there's a challenge. Challenge promos are offered like once or twice a year for my company for free. Matches are offered year round for anyone and they come with a fee.

There’s usually no match, if there is its targeted and comes with a “challenge”. You can challenge for gold and platinum at any point for a fee (like $250). There are targeted challenges that are free and usually company based.

3mm would get you platinum for life.. what are you wanting? I’m assuming a lot of those were earned pre-2011 when they changed their lifetime earnings.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
