Thanks for the welcome and support.

Back in December last year I was trying to get two ticekts to MIA from ORD, trying to fly out on Friday and come back to Chicago the following Sat (for a cruise vacation), thinking that it's 5 months away, I would have a good chance, no direct flights offer, only connection flights, and the direct flights price was $270, so I ended up buying thru UAL. 4/16 - 4/24

Two weeks ago, I was trying to redeem two tickets from ORD to SFO, 6/24 or 6/25 and return 6/27 or 6/28, no luck.

Well, what can I get for 100,000 points with Hhonors? I mostly use Priceline.com for my hotel rooms, they are by far the cheapest way to go. I am staying in Radison in Miami for $35 a night, I stayed at Sofitel in Miami for $36 a night, I stayed at Woldorf in NY for under $100

I love UAL mileage program, I always have good luck with them
