Check progress toward an airline promotion

Why use this

1. A traveller tracking a promotion may have flight activity in one record and corporate booking evidence in another. Counting every flight can give a misleading picture when the promotion requires a particular booking identifier or qualifying period.

2. A linked progress ledger could show which activities have supporting evidence and which need review. The traveller could investigate gaps without treating the estimated progress as the airline’s final eligibility determination.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment

Match differently labelled receipts and flight records while identifying missing qualification evidence.

Simpler alternative

Use the airline’s promotion tracker when it clearly explains every qualifying activity.

Unsuitable when

Official terms, participation status or receipt ownership cannot be verified.

Proposed inputs

1. Name

   Promotion terms snapshot

   Owner

   Traveller

   Minimum scope

   Selected flight records and corporate-ID evidence with unnecessary details removed

   Quality check

Access and setup — proposed or unknown

Proposed minimum

1. Read-only supplied extracts and a private comparison ledger.

Compatibility unknowns

1. Unknown: exact runtime, airline access and current promotion rules.

External actions requiring approval

1. Contacting the airline, uploading receipts or changing account participation.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact

Activity-to-receipt ledger with supported, uncertain and excluded progress entries.

Critical checks

1. Each counted activity has the required evidence.

2. Estimated progress is distinct from airline-confirmed eligibility.

Missing output evidence

No new account check or promotion-result verification occurs in this overlay.

Failure signals and proposed responses

1. Signal

   A flight matches the date but not the corporate identifier.

   Why it matters

   It may not satisfy the promotion’s booking condition.

   Proposed response

   Mark it uncertain and request the correct supporting receipt.

2. Signal

   A changed booking appears as multiple activities.

   Why it matters

   Progress could be overstated.

   Proposed response

   Reconcile identifiers and retain only verified qualifying activity.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work

1. Translate official terms into explicit evidence checks.

Ongoing review

1. Resolve missing receipts and reconcile airline-posted progress.

Unknowns

1. Unknown: account-tool support, posting delays and reviewer effort.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status

proposed_unexecuted

Synthetic fixture

Fictional activities include a duplicate booking, a matching corporate receipt and a receipt with a different identifier.

Acceptance checks

1. Only supported unique activity is counted provisionally.

2. Uncertain eligibility remains labelled.

Stop conditions

1. Missing terms or private account access would need to be assumed.

Limits

1. Editorial progress aid; source reporting does not establish present promotion eligibility.
