My poor points friend has a balance of 44k AA miles. He has earned them the hard way– working. He was pretty excited that he will earn platinum on AA. As you probably know, I don’t fly enough to get any status. All the commuting from Montana to New York only has me half way to Delta Silver! That’s why I thought it was funny when I received this targeted promotion from American Airlines, offering me platinum pro status for a few months. I doubt I’ll utilize it, but at least I can make fun of my friend more.

In the past the best part of these AA status offers is that they also give you non-expiring 500 mile stickers. You can’t use these unless you’re at least Gold but that is much easier to get than keeping Platinum Pro.
