I started crediting my *A miles on BD too - I fly UA and US mainly. My #1 reason was that I get a 600 mile minimum on short flights. US and UA both dropped the minimum earlier this year and now credit actual flown miles only. When I do become a Gold on BD (on my way...), I see lounge access a a big plus, especially when one has a delay. Beats hanging out in the waiting area.
