I mostly miss the award rules.
- OW90C oneworld explorer award
- Guaranteed space around 365 days out
- Fun promotions at 20th/25th anniversary
- Award stopovers even on canada-us tickets
- Free car rental with first awards (only did once)
- AAnytime price put a floor on the value of my miles
- TATL business was not nearly as good but at least I could get it
- I remember it was easy to cheaply change my flight the day before even without status
