I think your calculations are correct. I don't believe the status match of Gold gets you the increased % earn, does it?
So if you've spent $1500, you will get 1% or $15. Now after that, it will go up to 3%.

PS: My next AA trip will have a 6.4% return on the "fare" component when credited to WS$.
I don't know how that compares to your AE experience, but it is a little better than crediting to the devalued BA Executive Club. (Which I'm a member of, for legacy reasons.)

Some say the best part about the program is the redemption opportunities.
You can use a small amount of WestJet dollars toward any booking at any time. There is no mystery seat inventory and no blackouts.
Cheers,
Darren

I think you are ignoring some of the other benefits, specifically the threshold benefits.

Only people who don't know how to maximize frequent flyer benefits.

Now there are credit cards that give you 2% back on groceries. Doesn't sound like much. But when you think of it as one week of free food every year, it looks a lot rosier.
But when it comes to flight tickets, 1% really is not much. Then again, most people would prefer cheaper tickets over higher rewards.
