6 Systemwide upgrade
25,000 bonus miles
Gift Gold Medallion Status
6 One-Day SkyClub Passes
Travel/Retail Gift Cards (various)
Many people choose this option. Current offerings are a DL TCV or a $200 Tiffany's GC. I believe in the past they had one or two other offerings, including a GC for a major hotel chain.
