My question is whether people have a view as to the optimal use of the cards once desired status has been reached.

How do people value 25,000 AP points, 4,000 SQM and 4 SQS versus 100,000 Bonvoy points once one has already reached SE and Titanium / Ambassador in the qualifying year?

I find Aeroplan has a much great value than Bonvoy. Bonvoy value has decreased so badly, I usually use other hotel chains. Aeroplan, I usually get $2 of value for $1 spent with AC.
