1050 Air Miles + $230 taxes/person to fly from YYZ-JFK on AA. A regular ticket would have cost around $350. Oh well, wanted to get rid of those Air Miles since they were obviously totally USELESS!!! (Air Miles is a rewards program only available in Canada and maybe the UK and it doesn't cost anything.) And it got me to JFK to use my free Open Skies ticket to Paris courtesy of Flyer Talk!

The one good thing is I earned 500 AA miles in each direction!

Edit: I value Air Miles at 14 cpm as 140 miles can be converted into a $20 gift card for my local grocery store. So I only got slightly ripped off.
