Sorry you are sick. Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much! I came down with a bad cold about half way through our trip. But I don't think its anything serious. Still no fun being sick when away from home. Sooo much to do before Thanksgiving but I don't feel like doing anything. Lucky, I have the weekend off. Except I am going to see Frozen (the musical) with my DD on Sunday. Looking forward to it even though its a long drive from where we live, but anyplace is really. I live in the boonies.
 
So my big debate today... to cash out my AA miles for Disney gift cards, or not. I have over 80k miles right now. I could grab a quick $300 worth of Disney gift cards towards my Jan trip.

I can virtually guarantee we won’t be flying AA anytime in the next 2 years. Disney GCs were always the fallback plan for these miles. I used as many as I could towards things like our Universal trip and booked our CR room for January using them. I’m still sitting on 1.2MM Marriott points and a small stash of Hilton and IHG is hotels aren’t an issue. The SW balance remains strong and can probably support all of our travel for the next 3 years without earning another point. And of course I have URs and they continue to flow...

So I feel like all signs point to taking the Disney GCs... anybody want to tell me I’m crazy or dumb?
Will you be continuing to add AA miles? If not, I’d consider cashing out.

That seems like a big TBD at the moment 😉

I would like to add more AA miles. And I guess along those lines; if they opportunity presented itself to add more I’d probably end up adding A LOT more 😉 so that would also backup my decision to cash out for a useable currency today.

I understand your point perfectly. I think, for me, 80k is still a decent stash to work with for swolphin, so I’d have trouble cashing that out for $300. But I would not call you dumb for doing so and I know that’s been a backup plan for you all along.

I never thought I would have a use for AA miles, but got a great deal on our flights to Sanibel this year - 5K miles one way. I couldn't believe it. Of course, that great deal just left me with a larger stash of AA miles (which I was able to find a use for).

Wait - you went to Sanibel?? Have we chatted about this?? That is my paradise - Sanibel/Captiva is literally amazing!
