Durned. Missed this one because I was in Las Vegas on an MR.

On the main point, though, also don't forget the original CO-to-UA transfer opportunity on Amtrak before it got capped. I moved some 180K or so miles, plus 50K so far post-caps. Was able to use 60K to get an Asia award when CO/NW were booked solid one summer, another 60K for an Australia/New Zealand, and 20K each for two Australia/Oceanias that were exceptional value to hard-to-reach spots. I'm not a great fan of UA, but getting access to TG, SQ and NZ awards through *A made it possible for me to get to quite a few more places.
