Someone at the last minute tried to sabotage the announcement and it turned into Tuesday. While the 10,000 free tickets is nice, it was the fact that they have extended the 15,000-mile free domestic awards from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15. That in my mind is big news. We've not ever seen a domestic award at 15,000 miles before and until Nov. 15 is very cool. As you now know, it has caused a ripple effect and now American has matched. While there are some things about SkyMiles members have some concerns about, it's clear they stepped up to the plate here. I just casehd in miles for a few awards at 15,000 miles because the deal is too good to pass up.
