With massive AA FFP devaluation, what strategy do you recommend?
With the strongly rumored devaluation, do you have any recommendations on other FFPs for Europe/Asia travel? I am personally thinking about crediting all my AA/DAL/EK flying to Alaska and focusing my CC spending on hotel cards and transferable points (Amex/Chase). But wondering if there are any European or Asian carriers that offered SWUs with status?
Most likely within a year after the devaluation is officially announced, I think there will be a foreign carrier or even a domestic LCC that will up the game and in 3-5 years, one of the B3 will reverse course as they bleed market share to LCCs and Asian carriers, but until them, I am reevaluating my strategy.
