During 2014, members of the soon-to-combine US Airways Dividend Miles and American AAdvantage should put some thought into which program they wish to earn their elite qualifying miles (EQMs) in. Because when the two airlines become one airline, the EQMs of only one of the airlines will count toward 2015 elite status. You should choose to credit all of your flights to either AAdvantage or Dividend Miles, and not split them between the two. Although all of the award miles in your account will be combined, that is not the case for elite miles, elite segments or elite points.
