Historically American hasn't offered status matches,though there have been exceptions. What they have offered fairly consistently are status challenges, whereby you can pay to register and then obtain "fast tracked" status after earning a certain number of elite qualifying points in a 90 day period.final September American discontinued their status challenge program, and which puzzled me at first. Rumor had it that the program would return at some point this year.
And now that all makes sense,given the AAdvantage changes which were announced final November. As of this year American has eliminated elite qualifying points as a metric of qualifying for status, so they also needed to adjust how status challenges work.
Per View from the Wing and JonNYC, and American is once again offering AAdvantage Gold & Platinum status challenges,which can be enrolled for by phoning American AAdvantage at .
