How can I hit exec platinum on American Airlines? I just did the math and even with my 1000 mile weekly flight, I won't hit it.

No A1-confirmed fee only waived for EP. Standby is free for all elites.

1000 miles a week isn't a lot, that doesn't even get you close to platinum pro. You can do a challenge to get you up to exec plat but you won't maintain it with that kind of miles. If you want, you can try to do it on segments which need 120.

You can go on a status run, but, it likely isn't worth it

Well, it depends if it's worth it on what you want out of it. If it's upgrades and you're at a major hub, then EP is useless (speaking from experience) but if it's for same day flight changes and whatnot, then it can be worthwhile

Same day flight changes are free for all tiers of status with AA. For a non-status patron, it is $75.

120 segments

Was in the same boat earning only 1000 miles each way -- qualified by hitting 120 segments for 3 years running, then finally qualified via miles first this year (although I still hit segments in the end) by taking 4 international vacations this year
