I have 169715 in my BD account, I may need to outsource ALCO to find me a suitable reward.

The folks in Pune are typically ignorant of Cabotage rules. :-:

For a domestic redemption, the resale value really isn't there. Worst case, I can always use the M&M miles for my own domestic redemption down the road.

Any interest in routing through Europe and bringing your wife? :)

150K gets you to S. Africa/Mauritius in J. The remaining 19,715 would be almost enough to get you Cash+mi. whY to teh Caribbean on Air Canuck or CO.

In J or better, sure, but that probably breaks my cost barrier given the worth of a ticket like that.

I drive a mean beverage cart at charity events. It's exhausting, but you'll never be without a beer if I'm on the course. :-:

Yeah, it's enough for 2 cash+miles redemptions in J. I believe the cash portion is around $300/person.

Hmmm... Can Haz 2x IAH-YYZ(quick overnight)-YHZ, then take 2.5 days to drive to Bangor along Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Maine coasts, then BGR-PIE with Allegiant ($59 one-way :D), overnight in Clearwater, then TPA-HOU/IAH on WN/CO ($125 one-way).

Saturday morning LGA-IAH or I could do the afternoon IAH-LGA but dont think I'll have enough air time to do it on the IAH-DFW segments.

This Saturday I am on the 5:45am flight LGA-IAH.

That's what i'm thinking.

I guess my next GEG run goes to UA.

One of my UA flights this weekend is showing zeroes across the board. ^

I wonder if I can get US to switch my account to CO now and if it is worth it. It is like 15K BD points I'd be giving up.

It looks like someone at BD jumped the gun, I think in 2 days there will be an announcement about the exact situation. The other option is burn now before the :rolleyes: hits the :-:
