Is there absolutly no one out there who can not spare 20K for three weeks? With all the people who cannot use their miles I am sure someone can cough up 20K as a big favor. You will be refunded ASAP via an Amtrak transfer. I will throw in some hotel vouchers too.

Please someone help out.. I am trying to help get a "poor" college student home all on my own goodwill so I cannot offer much in return as I am loosing the miles anyway.

Thanks
