Be aware there is also a fee because it must be booked over the phone , can't do it online (or at least I couldn't figure out how) also you don't earn any points even tho you are paying $350.00 Maybe not the best use of miles but who can argue with 3 tickets to Hawaii for $350.!!!

Do what you want, but essentially you paid $350 to not give up the extra 15k miles for the 35k Y award. Not a good deal in my opinion.
