The points ARE really valuable, maybe they'll be open to that..
If you are collecting Starpoints, then yes, they are. I, however, cannot keep my Gold this year and get them, due to the way I made Gold the first time. It was a give-away from AA, and was set up so that I get all Starpoints direct deposit as AA miles. It would only be a few thousand AA miles, and considering I get anywhere between 100k-150k miles/year from all sources, it's not a very big deal to lose out on a few, given what I might gain. I just remade Gold on my own, so starting next year, I will begin collecting Starpoints, as either Gold, or more likely, Plat.
