I don't think my dissapointment is too premature. I'm just mad I got a Presidential Plus card last summer. I'm emailing AA to check out there status match, as much as I hate One World
Simple answer, as plainly written about in COInsider's post... 2010 earned SWU's are valid for any paid fare. The challenge is finding an R to upgrade to. These are not available on every route. Again, giving me something that is unusable is more relationship destroying than building.
Your PP card you received last sumer has given you loads of points. It was a good choice. Even if you had to pay for the card, it is worth it if you fly a lot. If your travel is primarily international, the One World alliance is pretty good. Hopping to DFW for most of my flights would be irritating though. Access to QF is a big bonus.
