I have been accumulating NWA frequent flyer miles for several years and finally have (I thought) enough miles (68,000+)to use them. I have tried several times to make online reservations at the World Perks site and I have never seen standard miles available. What should be a 20,000 mile ticket is always 100,000 mile ticket or worse! Before I make the decision to never fly NWA again because I got hosed, can anyone tell me what the deal is? This is very frustrating.

Conversely, I am a member of Hilton Honors which has been an absolute pleasure. I have stayed in some very nice Hiltons for free and have even been able stay in Hiltons for the price of a Hampton using Point Stretchers. Is the NWA program virtually worthless? My vote right now is that it is!
