I love this new LoyPoy system!
I am gonna make EXP without setting foot on AA except for rebookings... because of hardcore ms.... in the past this was impossible on AA but now, they invite us! Y'all hate ppl like me I am sure.

I was talking about revenue bookings... so not before, but after I make EXP... then I'll set foot on AA...only when I can confirm UG of course. Meantime I'll use the RDMs for QR and JL the usual. I have used them for AA in the past for domestic/regional F and it's been reasonably good. Recently better than UA and DL. Even these multiferous Avis and Budget car rentals are racking up the loypoy. So much easier than the old system this really makes it worth piling the spend on those AA cards!

I like the new system, too. I've had four flights this year and am already at Platinum, with 11 months to go in the period.

I have come to the point where... with my wife retiring next year... we are just start choosing the cheapest J and F fares... regardless of the airline anymore..
it seems like most programs.. sometime you have to ask yourself.. it is really worth it...

It makes sense to continue with AA if high % of where you go has AA, and you want to play the upgrade game. If the goal is retirement in comfort and you have the cash, and you absolutely want J or F, the only loyalty is to your bottom line.

Maybe OP was talking about domestic upgrades. But those can't be confirmed at booking in advance (unless booking within the upgrade window at T-100 , which is possible but rare)
so we are not seeing the OP on a AA plane anytime soon.

Upgrade with miles − AAdvantage program − American Airlines
tbh I want to see y'all onboard in F I can't wait. I'll wear the T-shirt "Honeybadger1: EXP by ms" so u can recognize me. lol!
[MENTION=10094426]jamabam[/MENTION] as for the ms..... dude ofc we're talking about 2M/yr or more. Returns scale nonlinearly. DL Diamond is relatively easy to acquire this way but rlly it's also not very valuable and DL SM well... u know. UA 1K is better for sure but achieving it does require some revenue BIS activity. Too bad we can't get CK or GS via ms I'd already be there.

Pro Tip: Why not just get F award seats with the millions of miles that you have to burn?
Also none of this (MSing for miles, upgrading with miles, buying F awards) requires any status at all. You could have done it all last year. The only thing you have done with your EXP status is tell people that you have it.
