Oh, one question about RR1.0 awards.

I have three awards:

- One expired on 12/26/10. I have not yet paid the $50 to extend it.
- One expires on 8/21/11.
- One will be earned on Friday, thus expiring in early 2012.

I'm about to book an award trip for April. (Literally...today or tomorrow, although I could in theory wait a few days; availability does not appear to be an issue.)

Is there any advantage to using one of these three awards vs. another? My plan was to use the 8/21/11 award now because I won't likely have another award trip before it expires.

What's the deadline to extend the first award? Will the new award issuing this weekend be treated any differently since it was earned after the program announcement?
