Meh, aside from the change fee waiver on purchased tickets [I only used that once in 5 years, but I do 90% of my flying on Partners] the listed benefits are industry standard except maybe for the 25% bump in mileage accrual for MVPs.

The single most attractive aspect of AS's program for me is it's selection of Partners and corresponding award charts ex-USA. Where else can you redeem miles for awards on CX, FI, EK, 40K Y to Europe on AA, and AF in one program at very reasonable mileage level?

The value of AS miles will go up significantly for me once they implement the ability to book one-way awards on ALL partners with the ability to mix/match partners if it is in the same alliance [e.g. AA connecting to LA or DL connecting to AF/KL] and even more if all partners can be booked on line.
