This one is VERY tempting, but it shouldn't be...right? After all, the miles are still being made available at the "bargain" price of 3 cpm.

But seeing that 70,000 miles at one crack still tempted me. This is for an upcoming award itinerary. I might do it because it feels like a "rebate" on the 120,000 mile cost of the award. A C ticket for $2100 + 50,000 miles...this is not that different from BD's cash + miles program in terms of the end result.
