Going by Dave's post #1 in this looong thread:Altair said:... So I will get SO to call (or can you email customer service I read that earlier) AA to request a gold challenge.
How do I sign up for the challenge
Phone AAdvantage Customer Service in the US on +1 817 799 2500 ( from Australia , replace the + with 0011 )
Yep I know about that and you can try your luck with the regional customer service lines but I thought that I had read either here or on flyertalk that someone just sent in an email request. I tried to search but it did not come up with the correct answer.serfty said:Going by Dave's post #1 in this looong thread:

It was discussed on a thread on AFF recently. It appears to be the case but when it will happen is anyone's guess.novacatz said:I heard over on *ahem* another website (FT) that platinum challenges would be restricted to AA flights only from Jan 1 2007.

21:50 Milan 22:45 London BA579
Q points = 146
GeorgeD said:And sorry, last question I promise!! My Qantas FF number already exists on the booking, so I will need to get it removed. However I'd prefer to do that right at the last minute so they hopefully overlook my excess luggage (I'm moving, it's not a regular occurence!) And where I don't get my seating preference via the automatic allocation, I've found they can generally work something out at check-in, which I think may have something to do with being a Qantas Frequent Flyer. So ideally, I'd like to leave my qantas FF number on the booking right up until check-in...is there any way this could work, or should I just accept the possibility of having to pay for being overweight in baggage, and a not-so-great seat, in return for taking the candy from the baby?
That is very high. The reason it has calculated so many FF points is that you have exceeded the 5 stopovers and/or transfers rule and in theory the award booking engine starts to calculate individual trips.simongr said:I put the same itinerary into the QF "how many points do I need" tool and it suggested 396K points!!!
For some people it is not worth the time & effort. I have been reading the AA threads on AFF & FT for a while now and have made a decision to stick with QF as it suits me best. Points are a nice bonus but couldn't really care about them. In order to maintain QF Gold/Platinum each year I would need to do a certain amount of flying and would not have the time to burn accumulated points.simongr said:And people still think this is not worth doing?
