Here's a hint I recently discovered. Depart from a nearby city (if possible) that is more readily served by NW than CO. Using a NW connection, I was able to get a reward flight on CO connection that CO wasn't even offering. (CO from HNL to Truk to Palau was offered if I took NWA from SFO-HNL, but not if I took CO from LAX-HNL as the first leg)??
