More 10,000 point awards email

Just got the email from Delta saying that there is now even more availability for 10,000 point awards. Is anyone else seeing increased availability or routes for this level of award flights? I haven't been able to find any routes out of SMF but am curious if anyone else is seeing any improvements.

Yeah I'm seeing some. Like MKE-RIC. Lots of days available. But zero on most other routes I've searched.

So DL is lowering the point rewards? Just like they said the would do. It sounds great if they offer them on the routes you want to take. They key, it seems to me you must be very flexible on departure/return dates.

I would guess it will be the leisure markets midweek (MCO, LAS, TPA, FLL, etc). I have found several. This is good news.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

OP asked if there are 10K award miles available, not whether there were good uses of them.

As a follow up to my sarcastic remark. I took a couple of minutes and found many open days about 21 days out from DTW-ORD, MSP-ORD, DFW-ATL, ATL-CLT, ATL-BNA... Almost every short flight I found had 10k one way rewards!

Booked an ATL-LFT ticket for 20k on a Friday to Sunday. Good value for a $523 fare.
