Thanks. It's now working. Go figure.

Really. $84 for 3,000 SkyMiles. That's 2.8¢ per mile.

Even if 25K for a domestic round-trip were easy to come by one would be spending $700 for the chance to find availability.

$84 x 8 = $672 = 24,000 SkyMiles
$28 x 1 = $28 = 1,000 SkyMiles
Total: $700 for 25K SkyMiles

This has no attraction whatsoever. I realize that for some a mileage run is not feasible because one has to find the time for a MR. But this offer has zero value IMO.....unless my math is off. Am I missing something about this promotion?
