Update: American Airlines has quietly extended the validity of Systemwide Upgrades that were set to expire on 1/31/22 to 7/31/22. They had previously extended upgrades that were set to expire on 6/30/21 to 7/31/22 and expiration of American miles was postponed until 4/1/22.
My wife hit lifetime Platinum status in 2020 thanks to American counting credit card spending towards million miler status and got 4 systemwide upgrades that were going to expire 1/31/22. Those have just been extended to 7/31/22:
Now if only Israel would open for families with kids…

I was gifted Executive Platinum back in 2019 status thanks to having Hyatt Globalist status and also received 4 systemwide upgrades. The status was extended from 1/31/21 to 1/31/22. The upgrades were previously set to expire 1/31/21, but were extended to 6/30/21. They now show the 7/31/22 expiration date:
My wife hit lifetime Platinum status last year thanks to American counting credit card spending towards million miler status and got 4 systemwide upgrades. Those still show the original 1/31/22 expiration date, but hopefully those will also be extended:
Lots of MS apparently for the wife đ
Not much, she was already at 1.9MM or so from pre-2011 churning.
Related: my daughter has one of the dreaded AA paper transportation vouchers (from voluntary denied boarding) that requires the person named on the voucher to go in person to AA ticket desk for ticketing. Her voucher expired last month, but I chatted with AA and they told me it’s extended through March 31, 2022. I don’t know if they are doing it across the board, but worth contacting AA if you have one that is expired.
Globalist Status?? Do you have to be Jewish to be eligible?
But have they extended our gifted executive platinum also to July, 2022, as I have not taken advantage of it for even one flight.
When you get upgrade certificates for a status match by AA do they remove it you don’t meet the challenge requirements?
No. But can only be used once you retain status.
JET BLUE HEROS EXTENDED ?
can you spend 30k on the aviator barclay card to waive the eqd requirement? do you think that they will allow cc spending to waive eqd requirement next year?
