Golly, I have no idea.

And early one would have to be JFK-MXP in J using 60K CX miles was probably booked around 2004. Though I booked that for someone else.
My AVNYC systemwide award for GRU-DFW-JFK-NRT-LAX-MIA-GRU was booked in 2004.
I got a few Delta chaperone awards for booking out a LAX-JFK flight for my yeshiva in 2002.

Then again I've been a member of CO OnePass since 1989, so there were probably earlier redemptions than that.
My intention was first award booked with your miles for yourself. I booked a DL award LAX-SLC-ANC-LAX in F on the outbound and Y on the inbound in 2006, but it wasn't with my miles so I don't count it. It was 32.5k DL RT.

I also used miles which I actually flew. My father set me up an account as a kid. When it came time for me to fly on my own, I looked at the account and I had 30k UA sitting there!

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

My first was in 2012, using 25,000 Continental points earned from Chase Checking debit card bonus (good old days) to fly BWI-DEN-SFO-BWI.
