No, but anything is better than nothing in this case and could be a tipping point for some (me included but I also could be a super minority with this line of thought).
Normally my upgrade percentage has been quite good, and I don't care too much as long as I've got an exit row, but figured a cheap transcon lie flat was worth the test. |

Can only guess until they announce it. But I'm assuming March 1, too. Complimentary upgrades are going to get even more rare once these upgrades start earning LPs

I would suspect that people who buy upgrades are doing so due to wanting to travel business class as opposed to wanting to buy LPs

Standard domestic F isn't worth paying money for, and a few measly additional LPs isn't going to change that.
On the other hand I will (and have) happily purchased $350 Y-->J upgrades on long-hauls. Excellent value for the comfort upgrade. LPs are irrelevant to the reasons I purchase the upgrade.

Given the obsession I see at the gate and ACs about upgrades at least for EXP and maybe PP yeah it's the number one benefit.

Now that they'll earn LPs at some point, I'll definitely bite more often - especially if they'll earn at the same level as our status (yet to be seen, still).
Will this have a material impact on complimentary upgrade rate should one choose to pass on the upgrade offer? I suspect it wouldn't solely based on my casual observations of not being upgraded after declining the paid upgrade offer. There have been cases where I was debating the value of purchasing the upgrade versus taking a chance on a complimentary upgrade. Earning LPs at the EXP rate would have tipped the scales in favor of purchasing the upgrade. |

- can earn additional LPs and miles when you accept buy-up offers in the app or online

Didn't receive additional LPs for cash upgrades for 3/1 and 3/3. The website says coming soon, so who knows when "soon" will be.

Ditto, no RDM or LP earned. Poor choice to roll this out for the "new qualification year" and not make it functional.

Also, confusion that the statement says "earn miles", nothing per se about LPs. So earn extra RDMs but no LPs?

Has anyone gotten their post February statement closing to February 29th CC spend LPs?

Got an email about the new AAdvantage year starting March 1st and noticed this:
Unlock new Loyalty Point Rewards and reach your goals sooner Now you can choose Loyalty Points as your Loyalty Point Reward and speed up your progress toward status and more rewards. Loyalty Points are available as a reward choice at the 15,000, 175,000, and 250,000 Loyalty Point Reward levels. 15,000 - 1,000 LPs 175,000 - 5,000 LPs 250,000 - 15,000 LPs At least now the 15,000 reward level isn't totally worthless when you already have status, as 1,000 LPs is better than 5 preferred seat coupons. |

A detail about the 1K bonus (at 15K level) is you can redeem for this year or next year (though the website doesn’t support the next year choice yet so they warn to wait if that’s what you want).

Where are you getting the reward figures for 175k and 250k? What I see is 20,000 LPs(25,000 for credit card holders at 175, and 20,000 LPs (30,000) at 250k
He's talking about the LP choices at those levels. |

I think you're mixing up LP reward choices and redeemable mile reward choices.
