I have more data points than they do.

FWIW I now have $15k and 100,400 miles as of today, maybe I should write them a check?

I can tell you're upset and confused by this offer, but people do accept them, and AA makes a lot of money this way. You've also confused "data" with "personal anecdotes," but that's a common error among people with no analytical training.
