Yes, I did! Set my threshold low at $100. 

Unless, I'm missing something, it's a great way to rack up points, which I will gladly take

    I set my $500 and  I hope I'm not missing anything but I could definitely use the extra mile.

Dear Saleen099,
Thank you for participating in the Flight Cents pilot. We're confirming your recent request to update your Flight Cents monthly threshold.

Date of request: 09/05/2017

New monthly threshold: $500

As a reminder, you can update your Flight Cents monthly threshold by logging in to your account at www.AviatorMasterCard.com. The threshold as of 11:59 p.m. ET on the last day of the month will be used as the threshold for that month.

Hmmm didn't get that but have the offer to upgrade to the Silver Elite version of the card although mine is only a few months old which would never happen due to Card act nor do I want it.  Must be targeted.

I am so happy to see this post because I have wanted someone to help me with decicding if this is a good offer, so but did not enroll yet.

 The way I interpret this bonus is the offer basically has you "purchasing" your miles for a discounted rate. When I compared them to how much it cost to purchase miles on American Airline site, it really did not save much. This was different than a spend bonus to me. Also, would this prevent other promotional bonus miles from being offer since this is a pilot, because I have normally received spend bonuses during the 4th quarter around the holidays on this card.

Thoughts???

I don't think 2 cents per mile is a discounted rate.  Award flight redemptions usually come out being less than that.

Honestly, I see the bank/airline coming out on top with this deal.
