I've been redeeming miles on CO for 20+ years. I am probably not the most expert - but I am pretty good. I used to do a lot of insurance coverage work - and am used to doing tedious things
. And I think the situation has changed a lot in the last few of years or so (it was fine to get a ticket with a CO partner when the partner was DL and my gateway to somewhere was ATL). Not so great when I am being routed way out of my way on current partners.
I think a lot of the problems I'm seeing now may be due in part to where I live.
It is better to get a ticket for 1.5X miles than to search for unavailable tickets at 1X miles.
And with all these CO miles being given away like popcorn in promos today - reckon it's not going to get any easier in the future. Robyn
