Still decent to me, but stuck the website for a while, cannot check out! No customer service found yet.

Update: Have to select the FairValue Hold (not free) before go to the next info page. However, you can cancel the hold at the end if you don't want to change anything.Applause

4k points for one way only on selected flights from July 1 to August 31. You have to book roundtrip to get the deal, so paying regular price for one leg. Not great unless you plan to travel on these routes anyway.

If other people also continue to refuse, they increase the compensation offered for whomever volunteers to get bumped. It doesn't take long until someone volunteers when the offers start increasing.

What a joke. Only one route available out of Seattle (LAX) which can regularly be bought for ~$100. Pathetic. This is why no one even bothers with partner miles or carrier loyalty anymore.
