Shrug. We've got 10% off codes and EVIPs to keep us happy. Some days you're the fly and others you're the windshield.
The problem with that is that it only works on AA metal, so if you are continuing on with a partner, no luck. And if you try to buy two separate tickets the cost difference negated the 10% saving.
