Not so sure that redeeming for a trip to Montréal is such a great idea considering the fact that Continental offers
r/t wknd travel to Montréal and/or Toronto for $128,- + tax. I usually fly Saturday and return Monday. It's way cheaper than driving.
I think there was a time on AA, where a "short hop" ticket was 7500 miles / way. That was a much better deal.
