Do they stilll have the $25 redemption fee (for non-Summits)? That, as much as the award level increase, is what caused me to burn my EarlyReturns miles last fall and stopped collecting with them (not that there were many ways to collect to begin with: their partner choices seem to indicate they're not much interested in anyone who lives outside their home market of DEN).

I did hear that one of the legacies (Delta?) that instituted an award redemption fee last year has apparently recently rescinded it.
