  1. What do you think is the best program to dump miles if you redeem for a travel package after the 4/30 50% US Airways bonus? All things considered. I mix domestic and intl travel.

  2. @MSPDeltaDude – All depends on your airline status and plans.

    I was impressed how many places I could visit in Europe last month for 50,000 miles on an American Airlines 40K off-peak economy award (SF)-Berlin) and one 10K intra-Europe award (Berlin-Helsinki, Finalnd). I also got to walk around Zurich, Oslo and London and spend the night at nice hotels at the last two cities on 20 to 23 hour layovers.
