... I am looking to interview a DC-area resident with a lot of frequent flier miles who has had trouble redeeming them for their ideal travel itinerary. Preferably someone who has had to make compromises (changing their travel plans - dates or destinations - or redeeming their miles in alternative way - for products, theater tix, etc.) or has just let them sit in their accounts, unredeemed.</font>
I don't fit the bill, since I'm not from the DC area, but ...
I must confess to being a tad disturbed by what seems, on the surface, to be an attempt to document a predetermined conclusion rather than to find out what's really going on. Could you explain why you're only looking for people who have had trouble redeeming miles? There are plenty of others, myself included, who have had no trouble redeeming miles, or whose troubles have been minimal and have not interfered with the essence of their plans. If you already have plenty of those and need some others to balance the story, fine, but inquiring minds want to know if this will be a balanced report or will just give the side of the story you seem to be looking for in this post.
