That's a joke right? Maybe if you were within like 15 nights of making it, but if you're 30 nights out and they offer to let you buy it back for 50K points then that is ludicrous.

I guess you could have the other side, like I do this year, where you're 1,500 miles away from platinum on AA and they want $600 for it. I won't be paying that by the way...
