Executive Platinum members will receive 4 upgrades valid on all flights after qualification. They also have the option of obtaining 4 additional upgrades depending on their flight: 2 for every 50,000 EQM accumulated above the 100,000 EQM threshold up to 200,000 EQM.

    Hello,
    I have been an american advantage member for over 35 years.
    I’m writing to request to retrieve my american advantage points. My card was inactive for a while which resulted in losing all my hard earned points. I have accumulated almost 90,000 points. I’ve been saving these miles to a well deserved trip only to lose it all due to a technicality. If I reached the wrong department, I would appreciate you to refer me to the correct personnel.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help.
