I just bought the ticket without using any points and paid 10 cents less.
I just stopped accumulating on LY.I noticed in January when they had a deal to cash in 1100 points instead of 1400 for a ticket on "selected" flights to New York,I paid nearly $400 for a free ticket(today it is $497) and a friend paid $599 plus 100 points. I switched ALL my flying and accumulating to DL.
