Anyway, I recall a few years back when US Air was about to merge into AA and for a short while, if you were going to book an award ticket on AA, you could give them any amount of US Air miles to add TO the amount needed for the award and they would combine the two when booking it!

And those miles counted toward's AA's lifetime mileage requirements.
People may look back at today's starwood program - where for only 2,000 Starwood points per night you can get a level 1 hotel for weekend stays - with no black out days - as one of the best awards out there. Enjoy it while you can.
