Time to use those accumulated points?

Yes, I know you don't get status with this, but if we patiently accumulate points through MR's, would this year then be the year to use some of them up? A coach fare upgraded to F costs 15k points, which is equivalent to $150 at a penny a mile on the recent US promo.

I have read enough to know there are other benefits to status, but wondering if this year might be one to just relax, burn some points and try next year.

From a newb's perspective, this might make more sense to me.

Unless of course the recent (questionable) AA upgrade to instant Gold comes thru...then heck yeah, I'm gonna fire on all cylinders for higher AA status!
