In order to get the 25k domestic ticket, you need to call to check availabilty. If the price is $390, I believe you have no trouble getting it with 25k points.

They will offer a minimum of 1 itinerary on any day you choose...even if the price is very high. Price does not matter...only the cheapest available on that day.

Say for example I want to fly DL between X and Z. DL has a fare for $320 for my dates. But NW has a fare of $280 for my dates. DL will not be available for 25K points - only NW.

But on another set of dates, the cheapest ticket is DL at $920. It will be available for 25K points, because it is the cheapest.

Thank You Network deserves credit/praise for offering at least one option for most any city pair and set of dates...even if the cheapest is very expensive.

For those who find their TYP not so great, I will trade very richly for them in coupon connection.
