Thanks Lucky. Just bought/gifted a couple 100,000 miles and started redeeming for *A travel on AC.

What a deal. Once I am out I may buy some more. Even with the steep change fees (free on UA) still a steal.

I was even offered UA flights which .bomb and ANA did not show. Go figure.

Grrr. I bought 4k last week to top off at only 20% bonus. Grrr. I’ll take comfort with the res agent saying “last seat” on a couple of the C/F segs.

@Gene I’m up for adoption.

Nice – gets you (nearly) 2 x RTW in First (thinking SQ)

3 accounts — my domestic partner, my father, and I.

For each account you can:

Buy 50,000+50,000 = 100,000
Gift 50,000+50,000 = 100,000
Share 50,000+50,000 (less the 50,000 shared) = 50,000

Total = 250,000 per account
Three accounts = 750,000!!

Too bad I don’t have any children.

@ Gene – how so? Multiple household accounts?

In for 750,000 miles for $9,945. My partner is going to kill me…
