I trade for HH all the time--in a little over a year, i have racked up almost 35,000 points on my account, and 20k on hubby's. Thanks to mypoints, e-rewards, and those HH bonus points, we've been to Hawaii, and are trying to decide how best to use the 200k points we have each gathered in our HH accounts. Oh the joy

A United discount certificate may not be worth its stated value since the discount may not be applied to some lower fares. I have a $100 electronic certificate which I have been trying to use but the max discount I ever saw using it was $60.
