at this point, dont all the majors work thier FF programs to reward higher yield customers. it seems like all of them get you when you choose a discount fare or by flying on a partner or codeshare flight. </font>
Not AA-- AAdvantage has a set-up that
rewards you if you do happen to buy expensive tickets but doesn't
punish you if you don't. 25,50,100K miles-- on any fare class-- will get you Gold, Plat, ExecPlat. Soooooo simple.
Partner issues are the same-- or actually worse, maybe, on AA if you fly on deep discount fares-- some deep discount fares on OW partners yield little or no mileage. But on AA, and all AA #'d codeshares, ALL miles count.
