Kinda reaffirms that the best value for redemptions is to be had in international J, and only if you are SE. Other than that, you better be prepared to plan *way* ahead to get redemptions. Having said that I just got 5.25 cpm and 5.0 cpm on two redemptions to SE Asia and SA. So you can do alright with them, but neither itinerary would have been possible without IKK. Interestingly, getting rewards SCL YYZ is pretty easy, YYZ SCL almost impossible without IKK.
