I'm not experienced myself, but there's always sites like ITA Software and Sidestep.

if you have made 10 rt's ord-sju on the same airline [i assume aa], you should have over 40k mi each which, i think, is enough for an award ticket on aa....you can check it out on aa.com...maybe get 1st class!
also, i looked at aa fares and for 9/16-10/3, connections were under $400 each....oops, just saw your dates were 9/14-10/3....anyway, look at different dates/ airlines....
good luck...and if my assumptions are wrong, please give more info..

A site I like to use when searching air fares is www.kayak.com. You may want to check their site.
Or for award travel you may want to try www.awardplanner.com. I have read wonderful things about their service here on FT.
Good luck!
