As you are now AA Plat I would stay with AA. Especially if living in North America is long term. Do you have BA any avios or BA status?
With upgrades you usually get the miles for the fare class you paid for and not the upgraded class. Note AA does not have premium economy.
Thanks for the reply, no I don't have any avios or BA status, but was thinking of maybe switching to a different FFP start of next year.
The upgrade miles that sounds great, I'll pay for premium economy and use 12,500 miles to upgrade to business hopefully, as my standard run back home YVR -> DFW -> LHR gives me 6457 miles each way, with 100% bonus miles thats 12914, so essentially free upgrades on 15 hours of travel.
Whether or not that's the best thing to spend miles on, I have no idea.
