Just found this thread....it just so happened that I found the itinerary for my honeymoon yesterday in an old filing cabinet...DL F ticket from DUB-SJU for 2 for 120k...50k Hyatt Gold Passport got us a week in a suite St. John (now the Westin) plus a BOGO for a 7 day cruise on RCL, which we used while down there (and then got upgraded to Junior Suite on the cruise). The whole thing cost $1,135 for two, including all taxes and port charges.....Great trip at very little cost in points and cash.....

Do you guys remember when awards had other things besides 'nights' or 'flights?' I recall that the GP award mentioned above also had a 1 day Avis coupon that we also used on that trip....I'm looking for that receipt now....

TW used to be a great program for earning and burning....

I remember the Braniff relaunch of the mid to late-80's...managed to get 6 free domestic tickets in about 1 month (with only weekly travel from FSM-MCI) and burned them 2 weeks before they went bankrupt again on a wild trip to Vegas with college buddies....

This game ain't as fun as it used to be......
