More/better availability for standard awards with partners as well.

Be true to their word regarding mileage reservation expiration times. The reservation should be alive until the time it says it'll be alive and it shouldn't fall off earlier than that!

If that's the case, I think everyone here would unanimously agree to that request.

Found it... That "rumor" is not at all substantial. Also I just checked and "phone order page" is still alive. It was probably just a site update.

Hopefully, though they did actually remove the Western Union option, though I'm not sure that was used much.

Yeah, that doesn't say much.
Although, from now on I'll start being pessimistic about this so that it doesn't stab me in the back if it ends up happening...
Maybe Dan can find out if this issue is, indeed, heading that direction...

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Are you kidding me?
I was the only one who asked guys beforehand what questions to ask them and the very first to post a report from the event.
