So I'm asking are people comparing to the same AC flight or to allother options when evaluating the value?
My threshold remains 2 ts/pt, although I often do better than that. With PRs of course. Otherwise I would not value the points at more than one cent.
As to flying another airline if it's cheaper, my wife will no longer travel alone so usually it's a reward on AC. Also, I am at around 2.6 MM. Although I have four banked years, and at the latest I will retire in four and a half years, would be good to get to 3MM by then... And I might retire earlier.
