I'm in a similar boat to the original poster--I had been hording mine since inception for a $250 HHonors award, which has disappeared from the award chart without notice. My backup plan was to redeem for lift tickets, but those are "out of stock" with no explanation about when they might return, and me with a deadline looming to redeem some serious bucks. My attempts to get some additional information via email have been unanswered since Friday--any suggestions?
