but, you're also burning the 5K+ (elite) miles for flying as well as any elite mileage bonuses, if applicable, and other bonuses (such as online booking bonuses or "pay with mastercard" bonuses, etc.) you may earn.

so, you are at a minimum burning about 31K miles for the $200 ticket.

i understand your thought, but i would never use miles instead of paying $200 for a transcon.</font>
I should have given more detail. I usually use the 25K for these flights when my wife flys with me for her ticket (she doesn't have status and won't reach it). We put our seats together, and I try to upgrade one (my seat for her)or both to first/be. Yes I am more than glad to spend $200 to earn the miles and qual miles.
