Well today is the day. The amount of redeemable miles you earn on a flight no longer has any correlation to the distance of the flight or the class in which you fly. It’s now all about the money. I’ve made my thoughts on the matter pretty clear in a previous post and won’t rehash the gory details here. But let’s talk about a change American needs to make.
I’m excited to debut a new video series covering the latest and greatest in the miles and points community!

They are literally copying and pasting what Delta and United have done. That is not innovation, that is laziness.
