Right now, AA values a last minute, $800 fare buyer the same as a $200 fare buyer if its the same flight.
I would be happy with a program like this (similar to the business extrAA system) or at least giving 2X EQP for International F fares. I have no idea why they insist on giving you the same point value as a J fare that costs 2X less.

Except they don't. You forget about through-tickets. A true PITA for those of us that that live in hub cities.
