Quick Thoughts
To register for this promotion, go into the Promotions section of your AAdvantage account (linked to above) and click on the registration details for the promo titled ‘Ready, set, jet toward status.’
Earning 500 bonus Loyalty Points per flight segment is a nice little boost to the start of the elite status qualification year seeing as you earn status from March 1 through February 28 with American Airlines, rather than on a calendar year basis.
Note that previously booked flights aren’t eligible for this offer – they have to be booked after you’ve registered for the promotion. Also note that Basic Economy fares are excluded from earning the bonus Loyalty Points.
