American Airlines Fast Track You Way to Elite Status. Register before August 27th 11:59pm CT
If you’ve ever dreamed about elite status on American Airlines and don’t already have it, here’s your chance! American recently announced the Fast Track Your Way to Elite Status promotion where you can earn Gold, Platinum, and even Executive Platinum status for a mere fraction of the miles those tiers would ordinarily require. You must register before August 27th, 11:59 CT using code H3TLI, then fly the following number of miles on American and select partner airlines (including Qantas) between September 1st and December 31st, 2013:
- Gold (normally 25,000 miles) – 6000
- Platinum (normally 50,000 miles) – 12,000
- Executive Platinum (normally 100,000 miles) – 30,000
I’m already mileage running for 1K on United this year, which has me on a plane every week between September and December, but this awesome deal definitely has caught my attention! Mileage run anybody? Hey, what’s an extra 30,000 miles? 
For complete details including eligible partner airlines and fare class restrictions be sure to see the American Airlines promotion website and here are a few excellent resources in case you are looking for a cheap mileage run or two:
Happy Flying!
