Have written this before, it all depends on when and where you want to travel. I have had zero luck with Delta and have 240,000 points I have to use soon before they expire. On the other hand, my wife and I travelled to Norway via Amsterdam in June/July on Continental and KLM in Business First on standard awards, we have tickets for the same on December 19/21 returning January 1 and I have Thursday morning November 24 IAH to PHL returning Sunday afternoon in First on standard awards.
