American Airlines has an amazing elite status fast track offer that’s targeted, in accounts now, and you should definitely check if it’s available to you.
One Mile at a Time reports on two versions of the offer.
- Earn 40,000 Loyalty Points (Gold status), receive 35,000 bonus Loyalty Points (gets Platinum and progress towards higher levels) or gift Gold status if you prefer.
- Earn 75,000 Loyalty Points (Platinum status), receive 50,000 bonus Loyalty Points (gets Platinum Pro and progress towards Executive Platinum), or gift Platinum status if you prefer.
Ryan Smith flags a third:
- Earn 125,000 Loyalty Points (Platinum Pro status), receive 75,000 bonus Loyalty Points (gets Executive Platinum), or gift Platinum Pro status if you prefer.
I’m curious what you have in your account. I do not have any offers in mine, and my wife doesn’t in hers.
- Register by May 23, 2025
- You have the full AAdvantage program year to earn the required Loyalty Programs (March 1 – February 28)
- You’ll have 60 days to choose your bonus after completing the offer.
- If you make the selection prior to the end of the program year (February 28, 2026) bonus Loyalty Points are for the current program year, while if you select after that it’s for the next program year.
- Gifted status is valid through February 28, 2027.
This seems to be largely for members who aren’t well on their way to status, and given that it’s about the most lucrative offer we’ve seen in awhile for accelerating status earn from a major airline it may suggest weakness in the air travel market (and broader economy). American – during its first quarter earnings call on Thursday – suggested that they’re hurting in domestic economy.
