My favorite feature on EXP was ability to refund award tickets without penalty, but that seems available to everyone these days....
Don't forget AA eShopping
I ignored for a while, but I was within striking distance of 250k LPs for the SWUs, so I paid $23 for a Hello Fresh subscription to get 3500 miles (4550 LPs with the 30% boost), and I paid $49 for a Motley Fool subscription ($99 - $50 amex offer) to get 3700 miles and 4810 LPs.
Even the $72 for 7200 RDMs was a good deal IMO, so the 9310 LPs were "free" -- and all posted within 3 days.
