"Thanks for your tips. Made changes to reflect your comments. Great catches. Taxes and fees ARE included for domestic destinations. 35 points = about 6 long flights so I defend my statement of racking up a lot of points with this pass. It would take almost 9 medium flights and almost 18 short flights to get this many points. I don't fly every day so it would be hard for me to get 35 points any other way. I wrote the post when it was announced on Wednesday and it sat in drafts until today so sorry about the typo." - Krista Paul
