Fish....I'm flying on Standard reward from EWR-AMS on 7/12 with return of 7/19....CO metal all the way...CO #'s 70 and 71. Guess I got the right agent or maybe because I needed only 2 tix....like I said...I haven't had any problems with redemption at regular levels (I don't do mileage busters) at all. I leave mostly out of EWR but sometimes out of PHL.
Congrats on your quitting the "lung darts"....that was probably one of the best decisions you could ever make...you can do it!!!!
