All bookings have to be made through Vacation Miles which is basically a camaflage for a travel agent. You do get miles for your paid ticket. I think a 21-day advance "purchase" is required and a Saturday night stay. Even hotels have to be booked through them. I was misled - redeemed for 5.000 miles and am not too happy about it.
PLUS - there are blackouts. I'll find the award cert they sent me and post the details as soon as I can. If I forget, please drop me an e-mail!!
