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.

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.

Complimentary upgrades apply to less than half of the flights I take. Absolutely not the biggest benefit in my case. Far from it.

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.

So that was a lie. Granted, I re-read the release and it only stated "Earn miles on upgrades: Earn miles when you pay with cash to upgrade to a premium cabin." Which is what AA is providing [miles], but with their entire premise of "simplifying" status in LP, where all is equal, it makes no sense why they now differentiate "miles" and "LP", when they're marketed as one in the same.

Also, confusion that the statement says "earn miles", nothing per se about LPs. So earn extra RDMs but no LPs? If this is true gonna be some unhappy campers. Not that will mean anything to AA Mgt.

Got an email about the new AAdvantage year starting March 1st and noticed this:
The site is updated with the LP reward amounts:
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.
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.

He's talking about the LP choices at those levels.
