So I guess the cost/mile is about 1-2 cents? Not too bad.
Greetings Governator and thanks for the post.
I consider AA mileage to be one of my most valuable currencies.
Regardless of a number of conversations about miles losing their valuation in recent years I still see these worth 2 cents or more the way I use them.Especially to Australia.

A few months ago I booked London to Capetown South Africa round trip for 100 k in first class on British Airways.

Tonight I booked a Radisson out side of Boston for 88 dollars a nite.
When I look at 3 k in miles ,free parking and the twenty dollar breakfast credit I consider it a great deal.
Not all hotels are priced as fair.

In some cases I won't use the property if there are many negative reviews on the forums or it is overpriced
As they say pick and choose and many miles
