I'm getting tired of complainers and whiners. There are opportunities to redeem miles and while they might not be at the EXACT date and time that you want, if you're flexible, you can *usually* find something.
Examples... Business on AF from IAH with a stopover in Europe for 100K
East Coast to ANC in early Sept 25K
VA in Business from IAH for 150K
If Delta does something bad, it's our responsibility to communicate that to them (i.e. the thousands of posts on the 72 hour award rule), but this contstant and frequent general complaining doesn't do any of us any good.
