I'm more worried about the cost per mile flown, which should result in an acceptable cost per loyalty point or elite qualifying mile (AS). I try to keep deals under 16 cents per mile USD, although preferably under 14 cpm.
Yeah, agree, you do an amazing service with the number of good deals you post, I wouldn't expect you to take the time to outline every status level of AA either.
One of these days I've got to do an rundown of my RTW itineraries and see how that compares. I suspect mine are pretty good cents per LP because I use a lot of JL and QR codes, but other itineraries that include some lesser bonus'ed ones like UL, MH, etc. would be quite different.
The QR one I referenced above is the QR CAI-TYO one, I believe that was one of your posts on this forum, though I already knew about it at the time. I routed mine through KUL for an extra $200, both for the enhanced earnings, but also just to spend a few days somewhere else in Asia. Wasn't easy to book with the detour, the QR site can't do it but after a good bit of legwork found (a good) one that can.
