I checked with MBNA

After your post, I called MBNA to double check this point. They have criteria to meet--making reservations 3 weeks in advance with a saturday nite stay, and a dollar value for the specific award--for example, 25000 points for a domestic flight with a value of $400. If you meet those criteria, you can give them a specific carrier, flight number etc and they will book that for you. And you do get the frequent flier miles since they buy a ticket.
