. And also, the bonus miles benefit did not exist with Dividend Miles on the percentage basis, at least not recently. It was only a general 5k discount/rebate on US DM awards on US Airways flights. The AA rebate is on any AAdvantage award booking with any partner.
I got you now. Perfect answer, answer unspelled, thank you for addressing and correcting this question. My misunderstanding; mistook the Exec for having a benefit that only the AAdvantage Platinum Personal/Business cards have.
Further, because the 2 program are now splitting the whole 10% bonus percentage amount, the other 5% half (if having only one card, the DM Premier World/Aviator at this point) would've only been made post merger, not before.

I remembered incorrectly the old DM benefit, too. Yeah, now I do recall the 5k mile 'discount' for round-trip tickets on US metal.
Even used that to fly to Vegas for 35k DM. Worst redemption ever, I learned a lesson that trip. Too bad I hadn't before, it wouldn't have also cost the extra 64k+ MR mile redemption for 4 nights in a casino.

The value is had in international travel.
Learning all the time.
Stumbled on one technique for domestic flights using US Bank FlexPoints. 10k MS with Target RC on FP card yields 20k FP. (May be dependent on TGT coding as grocery.) A sub-$400 domestic flight is this amount (or less), and so allows checking for 1st class fare. Maybe even upgrade passes that come with elite status, promotions, and/or last minute airline gate reconfigs. *
