Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get all the miles I needed in last year to re-qualify for AAdvantage Platinum due to the cancellation of our Oz trip. Last week, I come home from RSW to find my new AAdvantage Gold card waiting for me. Feh.

Ugh…I hate the New Year…always get shock when I log into AA.com for the first time and see this:
