Any tool to automatically notify me when LOW miles award becomes available?
I am frustrated by the seeming lack of LOW miles awards on DL (in my case to/from HNL) and so I "bit the bullet" and reserved a MEDIUM level award. At this point (according to the seat map which I know is not the most reliable way) I have the only seats in FC (trip is in 2012).
Anyway, other than checking everyday, is there a tool that any one knows of that will do the checking for me and notify me when a LOW miles award is released? Then I might have a chance to "switch" to the LOW miles award from my current MEDIUM miles award.
Also if anyone has insight about when LOW miles award are generally released (e.g.: days, weeks, months before flight date) that would be most appreciated.
Thanks
ps ... I did do a search on this topic and did not find much relevant in 10 pages of topics returned

I saw it too.
They claim;
"We can have you reserving your miles seat in 60 seconds: We show you your miles flight options on a map, help you compare how much the trip costs in miles vs. cash, and then take you right to booking."
If it delivers it will be awesome.

Delta award inventory isn't supported by ExpertFlyer - but several partner airlines are.

I heard there is a woman who lives in a shack by the fifth runway in ATL. She gives readings once a week where those assembled are channeled towards low tier awards to various places. It is only a vague rumor, but I also heard she once even did Asia.
