I didn't know about milespoint.com. Thanks.

Looks like $200 off at Ashford, as an example, for 10,000 miles. Once again, the magic number is 2c per mile. A reasonable value.

That is $200 off $1,000 purchase. BTW main problem with milepoint.com is that there are coupons that offer similar savings without spending any miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

FF miles are a liability to airlines' balance sheets. Use them if you can on non flight related items. </font>
I'm not sure I'd agree. With so many seats flying empty, the incremental cost to the airline of flying an award passenger is much less than the book liability. On the other hand, when you redeem for merchandise, the airline has to acquire that merchandise (and pay for it? or give more credits and thus incur additional liabilities?) rather than "taking it out of inventory".

I'd think the better way to help the airlines is to redeem awards for flights.
