I was able to get one DTW-ACA-DTW award trip to come up for 47.5K miles (depart 3/3, return 3/11) but could not repeat it a few minutes later. If you can manage 47.5K miles somehow, you might keep trying or call the elite line.
Do you think 47.5K miles would be worth it? I was thinking that 30,000 EQM would be fair, but I guess as the award seats are taken up, it starts to cost more miles.
