Had same issue, had to login. Seemed to only show airports specifically geared toward your home area.

Ignore the limited listings showing on webpage. CMH-SYD/AKL/PPT have the same YSKR340 awards as DTW above. You just have to try out different markets. Also, ignore the dates showing on the specials page. The validity dates for travel for these award are shown above -- 9/1 - 11/16, 11/28 - 12/13, 1/8 - 3/31.

Again, you just have to try different markets. SYD/AKL/PPT seem to be common ones. For whatever reason, they don't show them on specials page. The validity dates showing on specials page are also not relevant. See above for seasonal requirements pulled directly from the award fare rules. Tried a number of Caribbean destinations and found what looks to be sale on NAS awards, but not seeing anything else yet.

What is your local airport? Try AKL/SYD/PPT. Also seeing pretty heavily discounted awards to NAS (for 21.2K roundtrip in Main from various markets). Here are seasonality requirements for NAS awards.

I was having the same issue with blank drop down menus on the promotional page, but when doing manual searches saw plenty of good options from my home airport. Over MLK weekend this coming January I saw roundtrip RDU-NAS for 12.7k, RDU-CUN for 20k roundtrip. They're out there!
