I think that the people who either have, or are considering getting the card, paying the annual fee, and enoying the benefits should have a thread to discuss these benefits and whether it's a worthwhile card to have.
I very much disagree with you, and frankly find your "assumptions" to be a little bit hurtful... Just because we talk about churning, doesn't mean we don't always have something else to talk about, or don't know the benefits etc of a particular card.
if you want to go down that path, take it up with the moderator staff.
Every time one of us tries to talk about something not directly related to the benefits of a card, our post gets moved to a separate section of the website. (i get why that is something useful, but please don't say that that's always "our fault) we could all communicate over PM, but what's the fun in that? That's why I sort of like creating separate threads for the different aspects of the Citi AA cards, but being college student, wouldn't have the time to browse through all the extra threads that would be created as a result.
Ps
Also, if you want to get super technical about it, we are all aware that most of the talk inside the current AA card threads is about churning and the application process mostly. Because, if you read the wiki of the executive thread, you will see that we make reference to another thread, found in the AA AAdvantage section of this website, which I think is more geared towards what you are looking for...
