I'm a 100% self-funded traveler who flies only on cheap tickets. Apparently, given the cost of my buyback offer, I am the kind of flyer who AA wants to jettison.

The meager EQD I earned was on flights (mostly to Asia) to use up the remainder of my SWUs. I've since status-matched over to DL and AS, and from now on, I will choose whichever flights make the most sense.
