Yes, we are going soft (just kidding) normally very nice people. This is really a great community overall truth be told.

Also, to be honest, the search function isn't very good. I've been trying to search for a particular question in another forum for a while, and I still haven't found it, so I will likely have to post it outright. I understand why some people would post, the search function is really frustrating and you really need to know how to use it to really get what you want.

Now that you know the secret, fly some MRs.
Yes. It's good if you know you can redeem for high value and the opportunity cost means nothing. I was happy to have my complimentary non-alcoholic beverage when I was MRing in Y, now that I mostly MR in F, I can add the value of a (albeit not incredibly good airline food, but definitely eatable) meal and an alcoholic beverage or two for each flight value. Beats doing nothing on the weekends certainly!
