Talk about devaluation, to live in the "good old days", I got the following for a single 50,000 mile award on TWA:

One round-trip first class ticket anywhere in the world. I flew BOS-TLV-BOS.
One first class upgrade on any fare to anywhere in the world. I used it on another BOS-TLV-BOS.
One week rental car.
One week in a hotel (I can't remember which chain).
Some other coupons that I can't recall.
