Got a mail from American Airlines that says they are giving me free upgrade to platinum status with no strings attached. Anyone else got this?

Usually those offers are good for 3 months. It’s kind of like a status match that all the airlines offer, except they are giving it to you to try with no strings attached like you said. So you don’t have to provide proof that you have status on another airline or anything. Now if you really want to use this to your advantage, take them up on it, and then use your new Platinum status to do a status match with another airline.

And I bet you got, what, 20 free 500 mile upgrades too? They do this every year. Go enjoy it!

Yes it does. Don’t travel much anymore but with $1500 spend they add another year of platinum. Not bad to have

How do you get this?

It was a “by invite only offer” mail from AA that for some reason I opened instead throwing in trash

They’re targeted to specific segments of AA customers. Usually the ones that flew a lot in a previous year and then some (less) in this year.

I didn't get squat

Interesting SD1. Do you know which airlines will match AA Platinum?

Most airlines will match or provide a challenge to another airline’s status. Statusmatcher.com is a good resource. Keep in mind, you are usually only allowed to do this ONCE per lifetime per airline. Use it wisely.

Venting only! :)
