I know this isn't responsive to your question, but I had nothing but problems with Earthlink and never even had service. They never shipped the modem, "installed" the service on the wrong phone #, told me that the local phone company didn't own my other line (total BS), and then started billing me - they credited my Visa a large amount and then continued billing all over again, resulting in monthly disputes that lasted about a year.

In response to your question, (1) Are the WN credits going to "good use" (ie, you will earn enough add'l to make the other 3 turn into another ticket, or otherwise not going to be able to earn 1 credit), (2) Does 80K DL Miles give you an award you really want but can't get at 75K? If its just going into a bank with indefinite use, probably a waste. (3) I'd take the $ if 1 or 2 are negative.
