- Last minute rewards to go places I wouldn't ordinarily go. Last year I got to go to Game 1 of the World Series on a 32.5K Y Saver Award. The cheapest tickets were around $800.
- Tickets to get friends/family to come see me who couldn't afford to visit. I've done this numerous times and I've never regretted it.
- Premium Cabin tickets on Premium Routes. Some of my best inflight experiences have been on AA F between JFK and LAX. Or the Oneworld J class award I did to Rome and Brazil several years ago was great.
