Is it worth it? I'm leaning towards the money, but 2 cents a mile is pretty solid, right?
Two things are wrong with the above analysis:

1. It's 500 miles/ticket on deep discount fares, not 1,000 anymore.

2. If you buy 2 (or 3, or 10) tickets on one reservation, everybody gets the online booking bonus (if you give AA.com their AAdvantage number).

Other than that, you are 100% right.
