Award Description: Million Aire Reward. The Ultimate Reward. Redeem 1,000,000 miles and receive weekly First Class travel worldwide for two. Up to 52 trips anywhere Continental or Eastern fly.
Mileage/Point Requirements: 1,000,000 miles
Maximum Value: $334,568
Value Per 1,000 Miles/Points: $334.57
Others include TWA's 50K award (Equity), Pan Am's Unlimited Monthly Award and the orginal Concorde award. Anyone have any thoughts of awards current and pst that have the absolute highest 'value?' Right now we've got over 35 of them but paring them down - airline, hotel and credit card.
Just for grins, do any of you truly remember this OnePass reward?
Randy, I do remember the OnePass award. My in-laws had just retired and my wife was trying to convince her father to sign up for the program. Unfortuantely, he was already a million mile traveler on Delta and was "done" with flying.
We still tease him about not signing up for the program.
