ANA business class to Japan. Got close to 6cpp

It’s easy to get over 1 cpp if you redeem for long haul J flights at a saver rate (UA or *A metal). I don’t think cpp is the best measure here though because it doesn’t measure whether you would have actually paid the $X000 out of pocket otherwise.

That said, getting over 1cpp on domestic Y shouldn’t actually be too difficult, I routinely am able to get 1.5cpp+. What routes/times are you struggling with?

ANA first class tix to Japan. However, you can get better deal transferring MR for the same flight

UA from ORD to HNL in Y during Christmas was a little more than 3cpp for me for the flight I took. Even comparing it to the cheapest routing, I’d have been around 1.7cpp.

i also did ANA first class to japan

Redeemed 2 business class round trip tickets to India and coming back from another SEA country.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
