Points or $$$ for award booking
This may have been discussed earlier, but I've just successfully booked a trip SYD-LDH-SYD for late next year. Nothing particularly dramatic about that (plenty of seats available - but seemingly only 2 X seats per flight) but the instant decision to pay the surcharges/fines/taxes with points or cash caused a small degree of stress. I took the cash (cc) option.

What do others think?

Incidently, 2 tickets (SYD-LDH-SYD) cost 32,000 points and the surcharge/fine/tax payment was either $269 or 24,000 extra points. That means 1000 points is worth $11.20
