These miles are just absolutely useless seriously. I am convinced 25,000/32,500 rewards are just a figment of peoples imaginations. I used.......like 6-8 months ago used to be able to get 32,500 rewards to YVR
My only recent DL award was MCI-ATL-EYW R/T for 32,500 miles. I considered myself lucky to get it... Would've been a $600+ ticket and I don't really have any desire to accrue MQM/RDM on Delta any more than absolutely necessary. I'm forced to fly them for business a couple times per year and sometimes their Marriott promotions are so good I can't help but accept the miles. But as soon as I can redeem, I do it. I don't have the patience to hold to 100k-150k to go looking for AF awards.
