I respectfully and heartily disagree.
I believe if one is inclined to travel and can use miles reasonably no or in the near future, one should do so, because there will inevitably be inflation (if the past is any indication of he future). I'd not spend just to spend if he dollar:mile ratio is not in my favor.
And AA does in fact allow (Barclaycard AAdvantage Aviation Red an Silver MasterCard) spend to offset to EQD requirements.
