AAdvantage program updates in 2017

AA에서 2017년도에 기존 프로그램을 업데이트하네요.

올해 그나마 출장이 많이 있어서 내년부터는 Platinum Pro가 되네요. 하지만, 내년엔 웬지 출장이 없을 것 같아 걱정입니다. ㅠㅠ

Elite status in 2017

Starting January 1

Qualify with EQDs

To qualify for elite status, you’ll need to meet thresholds for Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs) plus Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs) or Elite Qualifying Segments (EQSs).

Elite status qualification

EQDs will be awarded based on ticket price (base fare plus carrier-imposed fees, excluding any government-imposed taxes and fees) on American Airlines-marketed flights.

Flights marketed by oneworld® carriers and Alaska Airlines will earn EQDs based on a percentage of the flight distance and the fare class purchased.

Reach elite status faster

AAdvantage® AviatorTM Red, AviatorTM Blue and AviatorTM Business MasterCard® accounts can earn up to $3,000 EQDs by spending $25,000 on qualifying net purchases during the calendar year.

AAdvantage® AviatorTM Silver MasterCard® accounts can earn up to $6,000 EQDs by spending $50,000 on qualifying net purchases each calendar year. They’ll earn $3,000 EQDs after spending $25,000 on qualifying purchases and another $3,000 EQDs after $50,000 on qualifying purchases.
