That being said, the 1 LP per dollar on AA purchases is a joke if they want to incentivize you to use their card.
Totally agree. I only have this card because they priced Admiral's Club ridiculously, and my wife and parents now can AC without me. There's literally no value outside of that if you're already a status flier. Sure, if you're a few thousand points away from the next tier, it's a viable option, but you have to REALLY want/need status to drive all your spend through CC. Then if you use mostly CC to get Loyalty Points, your actually butt-in-seat spend will be low so you'll be the lowest person on your earned status' totem pole.
