...as long as they will let me use my awards for a flight with that short of notice, since it would cost me 100$ in annual fees but the price of a ticket that short in advance could cost up to 700$ or more? Or if you figure that the place I usually fly to costs 287 dollars but I get enough in 2 years (100$) to fly there wouldn't that still be worth it?</font>
1. It is rare that you can get a ticket on short notice with miles.
2. If you wait for a sale, you can usually get a ticket to most places in the U.S. on Southwest or one of the other discount carriers for $200 or less. Still worth it, but why not use a free card instead?
