Not sure I am "worked up", but this might be a tipping point that convinces me to get a Citi Premier card with the current 80k sign up bonus. I also have quite a high cash back balance on my Citi Double cash card that I could turn into points as well. I believe there is some value to be gleaned from AA points, such as QSuites on Qatar with less YQ/YR maybe.
