Glad segments has become a part of the discussion. It brings up another AAdvantage to AA.
You can become EXP for 100 segments or 100 points.
With DL at 140 that is 40% more segments; compared to 25% miles.
The people on this board that talk about buying may "F" and BC tickets could even get to EXP faster because of the 1.5 bump per mile to get to points. In theory, not likely though, you could become EXP with 66,667 miles all at the 1.5 point mark. That is actually a little more than half of what DL wants.
