I'd recommend AZ over OK. Surprisingly, you'll get good customer service and a website that allows you to book awards.
AZ is not going anywhere. I live and work in northeast Italy. AZ is not going bankrupt. The government just won't let it happen. There is a wind of change happening at AZ and it will prop itself back up.

however, OK might be a safer choice for the time being, at least until we see what happens to AZ.
thanks to all for the replies!
