I was able to find space on HA that would cost 60k round trip, but that's in just coach. I got Main Cabin Select on VX for the same price. I consider that a much better use of miles.

That being said... calling and booking through the HA phone agents is certainly an experience that I'd prefer to avoid if at all possible. haha

Thanks for posting back with your experience, and good on you for persisting and actually getting an HA partner award! Most people just get daunted by the process and give up.
