Any of you tried the Amex Platinum card 2 for 1? I know that usually those companion fare offers are ridiculous when you find out how much you have to pay for the first ticket but we have had good luck twice with the amex program. we flew business on Japan Air last year for Tokyo to HK cruise for something like $9k for both of us and we are now sitting on 2 business class tickets to Sydney/Auckland on Air NZ for $8800. for both. Maybe its value is in direct proportion to distance travelled?
I recently looked into award seats on Delta to Barcelona next August and it was 250k miles for one ticket in businesss!! When did that go up so much? Didn't it used to be 90k to Europe?
