If there was no availability and the tix were $9k each, perhaps it wasn't such a bad redemption...

1) SPG doesn't give 2cpp for flights
2) Full fare biz is less than $9k for that route

It's SPG taking advantage of the members...

If there was no availability and the tix were $9k each, perhaps it wasn't such a bad redemption...

For 870k I'd take a different option, or ten...

This probably cost SPG as much as, if not more than transferring to airlines.

I wonder what the top earner of SPG was through CC spend... Gotta dwarf the other 2 categories by no less than 20x.
