Wow. Audits! I'm new to this program and only have myself, my wife and my daughter signed up. They do not work for the company; just me.

I've got just over 18,000 points and am EXP so most domestic awards are not that interesting to me. I was trying to figure out the fare classes to figure out if international upgrades to business class from discounted coach clear ahead of the EXP SWU's that I have and, in general, if they are any more likely to clear than those fairly useless (for European travel) SWU's. My gut tells me those BXP2 and BXP3 awards are not all that useful unless dates are very flexible.

So now I'm thinking of cashing everything out for the BX6E award and see if it triggers an audit. I'm not out any cash and if they audit and I fail, they just cancel the award and I lose the points.

Thoughts?
