I am trying to figure out what plat means to me now - upgrades are hard to come by on most of my flights. I get a mileage bonus and rewards seats are very marginally easier to get. Wait time on hold is minimal. Other than that...............
I was wondering that too at the end of last year. I'm a "fly by the seat of the pants" person - and if the door isn't shut when I get there - I've spent too much time in the airport. I flew IAH-MSY-IAH at least once or twice a week - and after the first three months of this in MSY - the gate agents knew not to give my first class seat away.

But - the mileage bonuses are great - the service is stellar. Was also AA Gold for a couple of years and AA IMHO is no comparison.
