No. But why would he be? That's not the kind of information an airline is likely to share with a blogger.
Regardless of future devaluations, VFTW's claim (in the blog post you link to) that 90,000 AA miles for getting for two new credit cards is "one of the very best deals of the year" is plain wrong.
The threshold for qualifying as one of the
very best deals this year is quite clearly 100,000 miles for a single card. The next tier down would probably be the 70,000-point Chase cards that were being pushed ike crazy earlier this month (unless of course you're not a business and don't want to pretend you are).
