I might live and breathe miles and points, but I draw the line at memorizing award charts.
Sure, there are sweet spots to every program, and I know those from frequent use, but keeping track of how many miles American requires for award travel between Madagascar and Kazakhstan just doesn't come up very often. And if I go directly to the airline website, rather than trusting my memory, I'm less likely to make a mistake. So it's a good habit regardless.
Fortunately, airlines publish their award charts, which is great for everyone involved! Consumers can see how many miles an award should cost, that encourages loyalty and involvement, and all the rest. Ben has written about this a lot -- a transparent program has more engaged members.
Delta SkyMiles definitely has tendencies towards sneakiness. In the past they've changed award prices overnight (and claimed that it was illegal to notify consumers of price changes in advance), so they're hardly on my list of trustworthy programs.
Today, however, takes the cake.

Argentina and, to a lesser extent, the beaches of Uruguay have been covered relatively in-depth by this blog and many others, which is why I’m glossing over much of my time on the ground in order to give you perspectives you might not otherwise find on the BoardingArea blogs.
One of the common threads on this blog and others is how atrocious Aerolineas Argentinas is supposed to be. While I won’t go into a full-length trip report on Aerolineas (and all of the photos I took of the flights were on my phone, which my United BusinessFirst seat ate, as you’ll read shortly), I will say that all of our expectations were exceeded by a country mile.
We flew Aerolineas from Buenos Aires’ downtown Aeroparque airport to Montevideo, where we rented a car (an adventure in and of itself, but not worth delving into here) and drove to the beach towns of Maldonado province, and we flew Aerolineas back directly from the Punta del Este airport to Aeroparque a few days later.
