Depends. If you have a longhaul trip you were going to take anyway, paying extra to earn more miles or taking the scenic route (e.g. invest your time) might be worth the benefits. I'm thinking about flying AU-US via Asia over the Christmas holidays even though nonstop on United isn't much more expensive. Earns 20,000 miles in one trip easily instead of 7,500 on United and its pathetic 50% earn rate.
