Pretty good, I'd say. Cheaper than a number of methods, almost as cheap as New OD + VR + BB.
And will earn about 13,000 AAdvantage miles, about 10,000 hard.
Nice fare, I would pay for that ticket as well. Just slightly higher than the OD method and so much easier, actually probably more profitable with your 10,000 miles your earning.
