What I find more concerning is AA setting the value of miles at 1 cent under this new upgrade program.
With dynamic award pricing on AA metal, I sincerely hope the end game is not to copy Delta and peg the value of miles at 1 cent for award redemptions too.
Matter of time……
My bet is that they’ll open up more lifestyle redemptions in the future: redeem for XYZ consumer goods or break down airport experiences even more as being redeemable with miles……
