Been trying to get my wife a Delta economy award ticket (for 40K or less) with good connections from SBN to LAS in Oct which matched up with a ticket I can get with my $400 Delta voucher (from a voluntary bump I took in January 2013).
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a "set" using an award ticket for my wife and the voucher for me.
So, I ended up doing a $403 flight for me using the voucher and the same $403 flight using the "Pay with Miles" option for my wife.
As usual with Delta, it's not a great deal but it works for us. It may be an obvious option to try for those of you that have used the "Pay with Miles" option before but, as this was the first time I used that option, I thought I might share it with everyone.
So .... when you can't get the award ticket you are looking for with your miles, be sure to try the "Pay with Miles" option! It just might work for you!
