Both Google Flights and Matrix are giving me DUB-FLG (Grand Canyon), for example, for £1,320 in September. Routing via LHR, PHL and PHX each way this would earn 720 TPs or £1.83 per TP (plus positioning). If I were doing this I'd forgo 40 TPs to fly direct from Dublin to the US to take advantage of pre-clearance. I haven't tried booking it on aa.com.

I'm heading to Arkansas and booked DUB-LIT (Little Rock) on aa.com for £1,275 via PHL and CLT. Only 440 TPs, so just scraping into TP-run territory at £2.90 per TP, but it's where I needed to be anyway and I already have enough travel planned this year to retain my status.
