Agree that this is a lukewarm deal for international destinations. Great if you had already planned to take a trip to these locations and the availability matches your dates. Otherwise, not really worth trying to "fit" into the somewhat limited dates for some locations. Most of these flights can be had between $600-$700 right now with more flexibility, and normal mileage is 30k one-way with tons more options (including multi-city, which is my preferred way to fly with miles, since I do not have to backtrack to catch the return flight). A 33% discount with limited availability, RT from same location required, and must book by today = meh.

Yes, they opened back up on May 1st. It's highly recommended you are vaccinated, otherwise I believe there is a mandatory quarantine even with testing.
Yes, and the quarantine is 10 days.

Whatever your vaccination status:
You also must present at departure to the islands the result of a negative RT-PCR test, and once there you are given a self-test kit to be used on the 4th day of your arrival.

Quote from raacerx :
SFO to PPT (Tahiti) as an example: 40,000 miles for a currently $675 flight. That's barely an "ok" valuation in my book. For 80,000 miles you could have a $2000+ flight.

Keep in mind you will also earn quite a few miles if you purchase the flight, especially as a Premier member.

Base miles earned, around 3500. $675 x 5 pts/$ on your AMEX Platinum = 3375 points. So at the minimum you are earning nearly 7000 miles for your $675 ticket, and substantially more if you are a Silver or Gold member.

That's not even factoring in the value of the PQP and PQF if you're trying to reach status.
Good points.

Once you click on the link, you can do a word search on the page for Boston. Ctrl F. I couldn't see any.
I found 20,000 to French Polynesian PPE, from BOS, so there must be some segments. I did not find any domestic yet..tried Denver and SFO..will keep looking, I wish they had all the details laid out better

It clearly says what the points are:
Use your miles to book international flights for 40,000 miles roundtrip, or domestic flights for 4,000 miles each way (plus taxes and fees starting at $5.60; roundtrip purchase required).*
I was talking about the title of the original post which still says in bold letters:
"RT Travel for 4000 Miles Domestic".

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.
That's not pathetic in my book. You're getting 2.5c/mile value if you buy that for 4,000 miles. Maybe not worth it to you, but it's a deal.

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.
I've seen it get up to $2000 credit to United and one night stay in a suite in Vegas. It was a freak weather thing and it snowed during a big conference and they were trying to get all the 1Ks out of town.

Can it be canceled later?
I want to purchase tickets to Canada and not sure whether they will reopen
You should be able to for no fees as long as it is 30 days before departure.

I just did the same. 16k round trip for 2 is good for a get away weekend. Normally this would be 48k minimum, 12k each way.
