Turns out this was a harbinger devaluation. Dynamic awards, while based loosely on ticket prices, were always a discount to AAnytime awards. Good work Dougie, loophole closed!

Actually, since they were often only just a little discount to AAnytime awards back then, and since some AAnytime awards have gone down, had they kept Dynamic Aawards, they might have had cases where the Dynamic Awards were actually higher than Level 1 AAnytime awards!

I don't think that's really universal and was dependent on how far out you bought. For example, I got a number of Dynamic Air Awards for slightly more than an MileSaver award when no MileSaver awards were available.
