Sure would be nice to be able to put these TrueBlue awards expiring in a few weeks towards a trip to Berlin, or Dublin for that matter. Of course, obviously the program isn't currently built to support the realities of making that feasible to B6.

I like TrueBlue for the most part, but with the rather rapid expiration of points and also awards once issued, it would be nice from a consumer perspective to have some more earning and redemption options. My TrueBlue awards are about to expire simply because I've been trying out VX for competing routes for the past year.

B6 sure is nice for LA - JFK/BOS/IAD transcons though, but I'll admit I prefer Virgin for those routes now (BOS coming soon). If I have to be shoehorned into a partnerless program I'd rather have it be VX simply because I enjoy the product more, personal preference.

Still a B6 fan, but I'm definitely sleeping with the enemy, so to speak.
