My thoughts exactly.

I am part of the opposition too
. Even DL miles are worth more than $.01 each.

+1.

Or for someone like me who flies to Alaska regularly, that costs 25K miles in coach for a ticket that often costs $700 round trip. Maybe $500 if you can get a sale. So at that rate, the value of the miles is at least $.02, probably more. For me the miles would be a no brainer.
