Thanks. That's what I figured. Part of the fun in many programs is looking for sweet spots in redemption tables, like redeeming miles for great airline seat opportunities and just paying cash for others. Same with the old FPC, you'd look for those better opportunities to deploy the upgrade and free night certs, to extract max value. This is basically an ongoing flat rate discount code.
