American Airlines AAdvantage

The big prize with zero direct Indian on-ramp — oneworld web specials and Etihad/Qatar partner awards. TPG holds 1.6¢; we hold the ₹1/mile anchor. The only ways in are hotel hops: Bonvoy 3:1 flat, Wyndham/IHG 5:1.

Nerf risk: stable No tracker events on record for this program

Expiry: activity-based — 24 months without earning or redeeming

Floor = the worst redemption you can always fall back on; ceiling = the best sweet-spot exit. The house value is what a disciplined traveller actually clears.
