For sure. I was flying weekly as a consultant to and from an AA hub last year. I was hired down here this year, so no more corporate expensed AAdvantage points for me. I just got my AAdvantage card so I can earn airline points when I buy groceries or whatever. Sometimes I need to travel, but if I had enough points for a roundtrip or two, I might take a weekend and fly to go see someone some weekend - when things get back to normal any how. If I had to buy a roundtrip plane ticket for over $300, I might think twice about it, even though I can afford $300. If I get the flight on points, I might just go for a weekend getaway. My card has no annual fee, and I don't plan on carrying anything other than a small balance, if any, so it all works out for me as far as I can see.
