My Motley Fool offer is $99 for 7,400 miles... so they seem to have targeted offers with different price points and miles amounts?

The real question is whether AA will be sticking to LPs for any considerable time as the competitors are in no rush to copycat these changes. My problem with AA is that for the last several years they were changing the elite qualification rules at least once per year while the service was rapidly deteriorating. Regarding the latter, I just flew KOA-LAX-CLT in F on A231 and do not like it at all. On one of the flights, an old lady who was seating next to told that "this is not what she was expecting from the first class" as food was uneatable, the seat had a very limited recline, FAs were busy with themselves, no USB port for the phone to charge and no video screen. She was paying close to $2K for that one-way ticket.

I actually like our fleet of planes compared to other carriers. the A321 in F should have a USB or power adapter somewhere on it. I think they all have it now.

Wouldn’t this be better suited to the ‘Post shortages you notice’ thread? LOL.

Is the motley fool subscription of any actual real worth in the real world (in equity markets)? If not it's basically buying 6500miles for $99, right? So you spent 1.5c per mile to acquire miles, and also loyalty points. Am I understanding this correct?

If you cut through the sensationalist buzzfeed style intro and closure, it's not a bad publication.
