40k miles to renew RCC membership. I thought I jump in before the price increase, but so far this year all but 1 out of 30 segments had been international segments.

I don't know how DL program works but on UA US-CAN flight can be quite good. I burn 75,000 miles for 3 tickets for my parents and my niece for flight between ORD-YVR, which at the time if I have to pay for it is $680 each. I also love to use it for intra Asia flights, those SIN-NRT, BKK-HKG/TPE, NRT-BKK at 20k each in Y is quite handy.
