Award availability opening?
 

I couple weeks ago, I found very little, if any availability traveling DEN-ATL in August. I checked again yesterday, and found 3, THREE! seats at 20k for a wide range of flights, weekend and weekday.

It seems like something changed, and they opened things up. I was kind of expecting to see availability at the higher mileage levels.

The time is now, use em or loose em.

I think this is part of the reason for the bump to 25k redemption, so they could offer more seats but make sure they made a little more money off those passengers (on previous flights) first.
