Thias has come up before, and been discussed a fair bit. This is a matter of personal ethics, to a degree. By holding all of these award reservations that you will, in the end, not use, you are limiting others from accessing these. I realize you're not doing this to be "mean". But, by doing this and not being organized, it ties up some of the few award seats that others might be looking for.

Again, a decision of personal ethics, just reiterating what has been said at other times, and other threads.

Cheers.
