With the big American Airlines devaluation kicking in on Monday (March 22,) I am highlighting all the good award space I see, like this award space to Argentina, Brazil, and Chile in 2016.

Today that is Business Class award space to London in December.
Why This Matters
Ideally you’d book award space to Europe now to save some miles.

Current award prices:

20,000 AA miles one way in economy from October 15 to May 15
30,000 AA in economy from May 16 to October 14
50,000 in Business
62,500 in First

Award prices for bookings made

I tweeted this deal first from @MileValueAlerts. Follow @MileValueAlerts on Twitter and follow these directions to get a text message every time I tweet from that account. I tweet from @MileValueAlerts only a few times a month because it is designed to be used only for the best and most limited-time deals–like mistake fares–so that you aren’t bombarded by text messages.

Until 11:59 PM ET today, Spirit is selling tickets at 99% off.

American Airlines devalues its award chart on Tuesday. Book by Monday to lock in current award prices for travel through February 2017.

While I noticed the changes to award prices, including off peak awards, I didn't notice that several places are changing regions on the award chart also.

Here are the five changes:
1 and 2. Bolivia and Manaus, Brazil to South America 1
This is great news! Bolivia and Manaus, Brazil are changing from the more expensive (Southern) South America 2 to the cheaper (Northern) South America 1.

Emilio commented:
With this devaluation coming in [one week], do you recommend booking some flights speculatively and then change later for a date that works better? South America and Australia sound nice, but making everything work is difficult. So, how hard would you say is it to change dates, particularly for next year?
Thanks!
I have written before about how to lock in pre-devaluation prices for trips with uncertain dates in 2016 or early 2017, so I won't rehash that here.

Aeroplan has brought back its huge transfer bonuses that it last offered in April, August, and December 2015.

Right now 40k Starpoints plus taxes will get you a roundtrip economy class trip to Europe, 145k Starpoints will get you two roundtrip Business Class ticket to Europe, and 110k will get you two roundtrip First Class tickets to Hawaii.

Starpoints always transfer to dozens of airlines at a 1:1 rate with a bonus of 5,000 miles for every 20,000 Starpoints transferred.

If you sent in handwritten entries for the Priceless Surprises sweepstakes and didn't get the game plays to which you're entitled, what should you do?

Email questions@helloworldfulfillment.com and tell them about your entries they missed.

This FlyerTalk thread is replete with examples of this getting people replies with either the missing game plays or just points credited to their IHG accounts.

Hurry, the game ends tomorrow (March 15 at 11:59 PM ET).

With the big American Airlines devaluation kicking in on March 22, I wanted to check the current picture of premium cabin and off peak award space to Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.

A recent post by View from the Wing said not "to be tempted" by the current 25% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points to Virgin Atlantic miles. His argument was that there are so few good uses of Virgin Atlantic miles that he had to dig "deep in the barrel" to come up with any.

Well I dug for 15 seconds to find two great uses to South America and Europe.
