I'm a novice at using Delta miles, and hopefully you can elaborate. How do you know if it is low reward space? I've seen mileage requirements on this particular route anywhere from 30K to 70K. 30K and 37.5K have been mid week. Larger numbers have been on the weekend. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter, because I know what the cash amount is, and therefore where my break is between points and cash.
