The value is ultimately determined by you, of course.
thanks for the reply... i agree the 3100 would be a nice perk to use.
i was thinking of the 650 upgrade for the MIAMI to LAX flights on a 777 - or maybe the red eye flights on the way back...
part of me always wants to have alittle fun with it and pay for intl biz ticket and then use the 3100 award for jumping up to first class... just for the hell of it.. one time.
ill probably wait to i reach 3100 and then decide... currently at 2300 points... so still gotta wait.
