I agree 1000% with all the strong positives for the 7 night package award.

Just want to add that it can be a fantastic way to help get you to AA 1 or 2 million mile status--which gives lifelong Gold and Platinum Elite status respectively.

Plus I find AA miles the easiest to redeem bar none even before I earned status on AA--and I have been UA 1K and CO Platinum---which do not hold a candle to AA in terms of ease of mileage redemption (especially CO).
