So, while the GPU might still be less valuable than the miles, it’s not as much of a slam dunk.
That was exactly my analysis. In fact, in this case it's exactly worth more by the $$ copay, since the mileage spent for PP and J are the same.
I would always use miles to get into PP versus a GPU, but I'm lucky in that I am consistently using all of my gpus -- so far. Were that calculus to change, my behavior may change, too.
