American Airlines is currently offering its customers to upgrade to elite status with 2 promotions

a) This is targeted to specific customers to upgrade to PLATINUM Elite – the details are below.  You must sign up by 8/15/13 (which is tomorrow).  Anyone can sign up but everyone is saying that it will only work if you received the email, so check your SPAM folders if you didnt get it.

b) The second offer is for everyone and gives you the chance to fast track to Elite Status (There will be a separate post for this and there is some extra time to sign up for that.

So sign up for both and see what happens.  Here's what you need to do to sign up for this promotion.

• Special upgrade privileges

How about Platinum status through February 28, 2015? Simply register first, then start flying on American or select airlines* to earn 12,000 elite-qualifying miles or points between now and November 30, 2013. That's all it takes to extend your newfound perks.
