Since they also value cash, they sell points to Citi.



And they aren't the only one. But if you use the a AA Citi Card product you do get some recognition as you'll get 1200 extra AA RDM. So, between AA & Citi, $ vs BIS is somewhat covered already -- if you choose to sign up. If not, it's like not having a FF number.

It ain't as broke as it could be.

We could have the value of DL SkyPesos, the Fuel surcharges of BA, the reported availability of US&DL, Seat roulette like UA, and I could go on. Didn't AAdvantage win the Freddies last year?
