Not much, but better than nothing if true.
And on that note... is there any reason an MVP gold shouldn't book an AA B fare if it is a lot cheaper? I'm looking at an international fare that $150 cheaper in B class, and I'm pretty sure I'll still get to choose the green or orange seats and get 2 checked bags. So the only shortcoming to me would be that it is completely non-refundable. Am I missing any other negative of buying a B fare?
You have to pay for orange seats on Basic Economy if you're an elite member.
