FWIW, the "coupon brokers" all agree. Many will pay up to $.018 per AA mile. Most of them don't even want CO miles and if they do they pay more like $.01 per CO mile-- but they are a tough sell in any case. Most of the transactions are for international, premium cabin tix.
Please don't ask why I know any of this.
