AA miles are harder to generate than almost any other mileage currency through spending, so for some people, 1.5x AA miles via general spend may be attractive.
If they do that, that will absolutely kill the TYP ecosystem for me. With the Prestige likely going away the vast majority of my earning of TYP is on DC and ATTM cards. Without the ability to move those over to TYP I'd be completely out of the TYP system.
