I'd get the miles. Even at 1 cent per mile it's equal to $200. The miles are flexible in cancellations and don't expire like vouchers. Also, I sent my mother to Asia in first/business class for 40k one way from the east coast- that's a great redemption rate. Just gotta find the right times

ACN, was it Business or First? Either way that's an excellent redemption rate

Was first domestically i think. Business for overseas connection

I gifted silver status to my SO. Since he tends to fly non-consultant flights, he usually gets upgraded and loves the perk

A1/M1 Delta no longer has an international first or business. They operate Delta One as a single premium cabin to replace the two.

A1 When did you do this? Was it during a flash sale? Delta's business redemption for US to Asia is 80k one way (and was recently still 70k)

OP I would take the miles or the regional upgrades, depending on if you will be doing regional vacation this year on a revenue fare
