I suppose I'm answering my own question and should try to use miles to upgrade!
Yep, finding good ways to use those earned miles can be a challenge.
Perhaps.... bank them and use the 90 + your new CGK 40 and fly in F to Japan or Korea on JAL round trip on a separate (vacation) trip. THAT would be a terrific use of the miles. 62,500 AA miles one way. Much more valuable (in my opinion) than bumping up to an AA premium cabin on the CGK route. Check out what those round trips in F go for on JAL.
