I just received two redemption emails in quick succession. I assume one is for crossing 40k miles and the other for 75k miles. However, they are both identical and the link in the emails takes me to a website where I can select awards for both Milestone 1 and Milestone 2.

Just got mine for milestone #1.
What is the general consensus on the best value as a selection? I'm guessing 10k RDMs? (I don't need any upgrade stickers or Daypasses or bag delivery.)

the 10% discount is pretty useless in my oppinon
the restrictions are too much for me.These are basically the dates when I had planned long journeys for which the discount would make sense. and 4 weeks processing time??

Milestone 2 and 4 only for 168k EQP?
I just received the email for the Elite Rewards, but there were only milestone 2 and 4. Shouldn't I receive all four milestones at the same time?

I also got my email. I have 135K miles, so I am past mile stone 3. When I log in to select the rewards, I only have the option to select for milestone 2 and 3, 1 is not an option. Anyone else have this issue?

Agreed. It's more expensive to buy 10k miles than then 2 AC passes or 3 domestic stickers. Also we get a 5% corporate discount for personal travel so an additional 5% doesn't amount to much.

3 stickers = $90
bag delivery = up to $49.95
2 AC day passes = $100
10% off = depends on use
10,000 miles = depends on use
Those are face value values, and of course everything depends on your needs and usage patterns. Looks like 10k miles would win for me personally.

Hey - does anyone know if the 10% could possibly be applied for a already bought ticket for a future trip?
