Any use for Guest Miles?

After subjecting myself to BA's race to the bottom in the pursuit of swimming in avios, I have now changed my booking habits to focus purely on finding the best product for the lowest price.

By the new year I should have about 200k in points which doesn't seem to get me much at all. Can anyone suggest any decent ways to burn these? Have done a cursory search for using on partner airlines etc but not seen a great deal of useful info.

Because presumably the "Guest Points" of the thread title are Etihad Guest miles.

Apologies for any confusion, have updated the title for clarification.

I only mentioned BA Avios to provide context. I don't fly EY for the reward milage so really haven't paid attention to the proper term.....

Was just wondering if there were any simple hacks outside of flying EY metal?

There is an option of turning them into cash via pointspay.

Your 200K would get you about £800 preloaded onto a virtual or real visa card.

Sorry the reference to BA did confuse this simpleton - Etihad have a very good reward shop if you do not want to use the miles to upgrade

Use the points for flights on American or ANA. Anything else is a bust IMO
