That strategy seems to result in more reward miles, the same number of status miles and more status dollars. The 75,000 mile limit would not apply, the four annual AA coded segments are no longer required, and there is no more 12,000 mile bonus for AA premium segments. Am I missing something?
Does it matter who issues the ticket? What matters is the program to which you're crediting the miles, right?
