The problem for some people is the ceiling on redemptions keeps on going higher which is true. AAnytime gave way to 200k J which is now 3-400k J.

The people on here getting real value hardly bought AAnytime then and have been using the same bag of tricks flying on partner airline MilesAAver for the last decade+. Personally I still found fantastic value close in this summer…less than 250k for 2x J Mid East to Asia + JL F to JFK…with a bit of flexibility and a lot of perseverance.
