I'd like to redeemn my miles for upgrades.
However, if I can buy a $3,000 one-way business class seat to Asia for $1100 one-way from a consolidator, I'll cheerfully take it! (True story.)
In addition, for the consolidator business class tickets that I purchased in the past, I earned the business class bonuses.
The problem is finding those consolidators. I spent more than 40+ hours surfing the net for consolidators before.
