Me as 1k: 3 premium seats at minimum $550 for...5000 miles?

Guess I should have waited to book those 2 recent premium seats. Lame bonus.

Also 1K: three premium trips for 18,000 award miles. Minimum $600. So perhaps I should not complain. However I have no plans to take 3 premium paid trips.

Pre-COVID, I had offers such as 3 x Premium tickets of at least $1000.

This time, I got one Premium ticket of at least $25 for 10K miles. I haven't flown since last Feb.

Not a bad offer though!
But $25 for a premium ticket? Realistically, what's the cheapest "Premium Ticket" where you are located?

I have two of the three trips already booked. Given the lack of change fees maybe it is worth re-booking them just to get the trivial 5000 points?

Mine is 3 trips of at least $200 earns 9,200 miles. Not a bad offer, except all my flights (minus one at the end of March) are already booked.

Guess Ill miss out again. My offer seems better than most though FWIW.

I'm seeing flights in the low 300's ex-IAD for same day returns. Sub $300 for overnight stays. Might be a good excuse for a weekend getaway!

I can't find any reference to requiring a unique PNR in the T&C. It does define a trip as "each unique travel itinerary as documented by a [PNR]". Changing EGE-ORD-PHX to EGE-ORD-PHX-ORD would seemingly be a unique travel itinerary.

​​​​​​I do see your point though and will report back in.
