AirTran Airways A+ Rewards - What are AirTran A+ Reward credits worth?

My wife and I each have 6 such credits which expire in early Nov. 2009 and can not use them. Does anyone have any idea what kind of value they might have?

They are worth a free one way ticket to anywhere Airtran flies IF you each either buy two additional credits at $29 a piece; or find some kind AirTran elite to transfer two of their to each of you ( a free transfer for the Elite, but he has to have some expiring credits to transfer ).

As long as you BOOK the one way before the expiration date, the ticket itself can have a travel date that is well into the future. Airtran does not book 11 months into the future like most of the legacy carriers. They will book between 7-9 months into the future.:cool:

1) 4 credits for an upgrade

2) trade with someone who has amex points or erewards to put 2 credits in each of your accounts to get you 2 one ways

LegalEagle: Thanks for your input.

Thanks Jesse for the suggestion.

If they are going to expire, I would just use them for an upgrade to business class.
