Hawaiian Airlines does the same thing: Whenever you call to get an awards flight the answer it is either "Sorry, nothing available" or they offer you to pay twice as many miles. It is possible that only 1 seat per flight is made "available" for the regular price in miles and maybe another 3 for "double miles" - you can only guess since airlines keep this information as a secret. Even in a raffle or a lottery the odds of winning are disclosed. Airlines talk about "earning" miles and they would even sell them to you for $$$ without really explaining what they are worth. It is sad that these scam programs are not regulated.
