I don't blame you....I blame AA for initiating these ridiculous fares and promotions. I guess it is necessary for them to defend their hub in DFW but I think they should evaluate what they are trying to accomplish. It also dilutes the product (EXP) by allowing people to earn it for minimal dollars. The product was intended to reward the heavy business traveler and now it is diluted to the point of being almost meaningless. It doesn't impact me because I buy full fare tickets but I see the jostling for upgrades at the counter and I am certain there are high paying customers who may not be EXP sitting in the back which isn't right.
