Consider the worst case scenario that someone is trying to use these miles on domestic Delta flights in order to avoid YQ.
to me it is and I am doing it. Its around $50 around my house and that much worth it.

I called AF and had 2 y tix on low with DL and was told DCA-AUA r/t would be 25k r/t vs 35k on DL, so 2 people flying out for a little under $170 after taxes, and rentals that I actually needed. : )
