This is crazy! What, may I ask, does AA Plat get you for your 3 trips a year that makes it worthwhile for you to spend untold hours and hundreds of dollars on a plane for no particular reason? It would seem fare more cost effective to just purchase whatever perks those might be!</font>
Well... I love the act of travelling. Sometimes, the journey really is the destination for me. I'm also working on accruing enough miles for tons of trips in F to far flung places around the globe. I've painted myself into a corner now since I first earned status. I need to maintain it otherwise I will just feel wrong getting only half the miles for a trip... Not really half, but it would feel that way without the 100% bonus.
