My rule for Euchre and burning miles is the same: Smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

Of all miles, AA miles are probably the most volatile out of the big 4 carriers. UA/CO/US aren't as generous as AA and aren't as financially insecure, so an impending devaluation is pretty likely.

I would argue AGAINST an impending AA devaluation because of AA's alleged financial insecurity. AA will want to keep their frequent flyers loyal in the face of a potential bankruptcy/reorg and should (IMO) keep their program as is for the next year or two. I'll be sure to tell AA this when they contact me to get my opinion. |
Still, AA miles are a risk, whereas UA/CO just updated their award chart this summer and just recently announced how earning will work after Jan. 1, so it's reasonable to expect that to stay the same for at least a couple years.

I'm on the fence on this. The truth of the matter is that none of us really know what's going to happen. I believe that we won't see an AA devaluation for a while simply because they need to stay competitive and their entire FF program is the one thing they have going for them right now.
