And one thing about points is when you book flights within Canada you're going to pay much higher taxes and fees. If you originate your flight from say SEA you'll save money. If you're flying into LHR on points well good luck because the fees are ridiculous which I learned the hard way.
Generally use AA to redeem for long haul flights, BA for short trips (YVR-LAX) and AM for upgrades flying on CX.
