Too easy, anyone that doesn't get all 10 gets banned ;)

+1 Agreed, although if anyone didn't get 10/10 I doubt they'd post their results. And if they would have, they certainly won't now.

I actually got 9/10. Did not get the cheapest AA redemption was to Central America. That'll teach me to start planning a trip that direction.

Truth is that question is poor. Hawaii is 17.5K off-peak.
Though I assumed they meant year-round and picked CA.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That was my understanding, too, though it was not clear at specifying peak only.

Off peak Central America would still be cheaper at 15k.

Plus the (sometimes overlooked) 10% miles rebate for being a cardholder, and it's a winner.

Same here. I picked Hawaii.  Though I'm not sure why most people suggested that Southwest is not a Chase UR partner  :o
