100k is not bad. However, assuming you can buy revenue tickets for around $1300 you really don't get a great value out of the points.

Still, what is your question? You wanna post the dates you're booked on before you cancel them so on the chance they go back to inventory someone can grab them if they want?

I never had anyone offer 1.3 for Delta! Valuing at .01 he still saved around 300 per ticket...

Especially with such a large account like the OP, sure. Indeed for 50K you wont get 1.3, unless you find a desperate broker.

I've gotten offers for 1.4 for Delta if it was 300k miles or more.

I haven't seen any Delta $1300 to Israel from Florida. The lowest has been $1650-1750 (which is a ripoff IMO).

Also, while 100k isn't great (I found 85k last trip), I constantly monitor what's available and it's the best I've seen for many months (almost a year). Delta redemption generally sucks.

Ah, in the winter it's easy to find tickets. About $800 and under plus easy saver redemptions. Summer is a whole other ballgame. But finding 7 on one flight is nearly impossible for summer! I remember my wife would get on the phone at midnight 330 days before we wanted to fly and staying on the phone for an hour or two trying to find [7] seats :-) Now we do it online.
