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.</font>
Karen, I'm a former 5-year DC resident in agreement with the post above. No problems here with redeeming miles on US, other than maybe needing to move preferred dates a day or two. Reading the airline boards here should give you something of a feel for which carriers' frequent flyers are having trouble with redemption.
