175,000 - 5,000 LPs
250,000 - 15,000 LPs.
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

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

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

I just unlocked the 15k level, and my first inclination was to just pick the 1000 LP and be done with it. But since I have until 3/31/2025 to make that selection, it would seem there is no rush, and if I find near the end of the 2024 year that I don’t actually need the 1000 LP, I can push them into the next year. And on the other hand, if I have an upcoming bonus-qualifying LP event and I am slightly below the 20% or 30% bonus threshold, I can perhaps use it to boost the earnings a bit there. Nothing life changing, but I like how AA makes this a bit of a strategy game to drive engagement with their program

I do like that much better, that's a fun option.

Answering my own question, everyone's favorite credit card hawker blog provided some updates on the Trip Credit changes.

https://viewfromthewing.com/why-you-...e-last-minute/
  • AAdvantage members Trip Credit expires 12 months after the date of cancellation
  • Non AAdvantage members Trip Credit expires 6 months after date of cancellation
  • Only one AAdvantage member needs to be on the PNR for the 12 month trip credit validity
As Trip Credit validity is based upon the date of cancellation, its another reason to wait until the last minute to cancel a flight.

I’d rather have the tangible RDMs, vs a few extra probability points.
I guess, but 1K is so minimal... it just reeks of AA basically being impertinent lol

While 1K is minimal, for me it is the only thing that has any value at the 15K level. Every other offer there is worth zero.

We're talking about the 15K LP threshold level. There's absolutely no reason AA should make a significant reward available at that low level of activity. The whole point is to give people a little bit to incentivize them to keep going.

And the 1000 LP reward choice itself was added in large part because there was nothing there of use to elites in the prior year's set of rewards at 15k,

This is not a real thing to complain about.

Honestly...I love the addition of the 1k LP reward. The fact that I can use it for next year is awesome.

I should have saved it for a rainy day, too, but I didn’t even notice that option and I accidentally swallowed it in a big gulp of many thousands LPs…

Same here. I'm thankful I read the caveat here, however. I reached it recently, but refrained from selecting it for the same reason. What if I need it more next year?

I'm just glad to have the option, because otherwise I'd select it today. Now I'll wait until close to the end to see what's more beneficial to me.
