pennies per mile
Welcome to FT. The answer is YES. A fairly good and conservative estimate is that 1 mile = 1 cent (although it's open for debate), so 20,000 miles for $50 is the same as $200 for $50.
If the deal is something that others can get in on, I'm sure that plenty of others would be very grateful for the link.

For me 20,000 miles would mean the difference between flying J and flying F from NYC to Southeast Asia.
So... $50 for upgrading to 40 hours in International First Class...? ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

easy call here. Definitely worth cash for that many miles. Jump on it and feel free to share with others on how to do the same.

Absolutely!!! My only question is are there more miles out there? I'm desperate for about 10,000 Continental Miles.
