Another reason for considering using rather than "hoarding" miles.
Just a note about saving miles for retirement. Note that in most cases you will cease being an elite level in airlines when your using miles rather than money. This loss, further depreciates your miles and the experience that you will have when you cash them in. Been there, avoided most of that. AS miles, while a good value, are just not the same when your are no longer elite.</font>
Well why not fly/charge enough on AA and reach the 2 million mark and be elite for life....
