When AAdvantage went to spend-based accrual rather than mileage-based accrual, I switched to QRPC. OneWorld elite members and premium cabin flyers (I think) in all programs other than AAdvantage gain complimentary access to Admirals Clubs.

Well, it's only a 30-40 minute drive between MIA and FLL, which, speaking only for myself, I'd much rather do as a nonstop plus the drive compared to a connection anywhere, which will make your journey hours longer.
