A few points:

- if the best domestic discount fare that you can find is $500, then you are doing something terribly wrong. That's why 2 cents is too high of a value.

- While I know that Southwest awards are infinitely changeable, but I've received resistance from UA and AA when changing tickets, which ofter requires a trip to a CTO (UA) or mailing tickets back (AA).

- Many more discount seats are available than award seats at the 25,000 level.
