Yes to both.

But I would take 25K RDM. A free domestic ticket.

What other airlines are giving?

Look at DL. Transpac SWU fares run up to $5,300+. US-Asia business class award ticket often requires 350,000 miles. Once I priced out BOS-HKG and the screen showed 550,000 miles required for this award. Must be a world record.

So, UA looks pretty good in almost every aspect. I'll take 25,000 miles.

Yup, 2010 not as good as 2009, and 2009 was not as good as 2008...
