Thanks guys for your advice. My partners flights have now been bought forward to 12 June (can't be avoided). Will contact AA tonight and register for the challenge!
Do check the booking class 1st; depending on the booking class , it is possible that the flights in his itinerary that are after the 16th June will be sufficient to complete the challenge , in which case it would be worth starting the challenge on the 16th
Check the booking class for the AA sectors:
if they are booked in G,Q,N,O or S class then start the challenge as from 1 June since these only earn 0.5 points per mile
if they are booked in H, K, M, L, W, V, B, Y , then check the mileage of the flights that occur from the 16th June and if the mileage is 10,000 or more, then the challenge can be completed on those sectors and guarantee Platinum status until Feb 09
