Doubly so for those who redeem for coach around peak travel times. Since the redemption rate is fixed as long as you are booking 14 days out with the saturday night stay, it's possible to book trips on holiday weekends that are blacked out by the airlines' FF programs and quite expensive to pay for in cash. See the numerous examples of >2c/point redemptions in the big thread:
