I could be tempted in this case.
Just paid a $60 fee to Chase to get 5000 miles offered when I called to cancel my UAL Chase card. That was a tossup.
But, I think my policy is a good one. Usually, if I break it, I feel sorry later. Buyer's remorse?
My own policy says - make miles. I often didnīt take the direct flight, because I will earn more miles therefore. So the ticket can cost more and I only fly *A. If there is a cheap carrier on the same route and the ticket is much cheaper, I will always fly *A.
