Since my goal has been to achieve lifetime platinum with AA, I fly rather than use miles, while I can get lots of miles (while platinum) and a cheap ticket. If the ticket has been expensive then I've used miles - or don't fly. Once I achieve lifetime platinum I will feel freer to use my miles which now amount to quite a bit. I always wonder at those people scrambling to get the extra XX amount of miles to get a ticket. Seems like a lot of pressure. I would just fly the next trip and use the miles later. What's the rush?
