I've never seen it before. Here's what it looked like...
Did the app say what the comp would be or are you just adding yourself to the list and you find out at the gate what the offer is?

Very true as airline miles, regardless of program AA/UA/DL etc, are not now and have never been a "currency" that increases in value over time. I try to keep my balance high enough such that I can book 2-3 Intl-F awards (its good to have options
) in at least 2 programs and so when I'm about 350-400K in any one airline thats my signal that its time to burn some because you never know when the next "enhancement" to the award chart will come.
