You don't have *G with all those miles burned in your sig?

EJB is very serious, I would say I am 75% serious.

Oops, hehe. Still surprised you don't have it.

My wife just told me that leaving for the night wouldn't be the problem (wow!) but that she wants convincing that $800 right now is going to be worth it.

Will probably bite for this as it allows me to get into work relatively early on Monday.

Oh not the same dates as us. :(
Woa, I'm off with my dates here completely. I can't do this once October comes around. Looking in September now.

September Sunday-Mondays are in the 800-900 range when going SEA-IAH-LGA. Just looked at AJK's route of SEA-ORD-LGA but then realized it's not enough miles as I need 19K.

Any idea why for some dates the LGA-IAH leg comes up as C and not A?

@Yehude and some other guys here, if you're not flying often its not even worth $500, maybe that's why you're wife is not so exited about it.    Because it's a deal for some people (who fly often) does not mean that it is a deal for others.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

I hear that. We are definitely not crazy travellers, but if we go to DEN 3 times a year (lounge access) and take 1-2 vacations a year (if on *A then all the priority benefits and bags) and this actually lasts for a lifetime - or at least a few years, then you still don't think it's worth it?

Btw to understand the value of the 20K A3 miles one would have, it's:
12.5K to fly UA domestic OW
11K to fly A3 ATH-TLV OW

So what's so bad about them?
I hear everyone saying they don't have what to do with them.

Well, I don't think anyone transfers to A3, so it seems that with 20K you can max get a OW ticket somewhere and be stuck with 7-9K in your account.

In for 1.

Booked as one ways for total of $769.70.

Used expiring vouchers, so $0.00 out of pocket.
