Should I use them now or will my miles be safe another year?</font>
A week ago, I would say use them and use them soon.
Now? Having not flown UA in a decade, if you have an upcoming trip to a UA-served destination that has available Saver First seats, why not?
Even if UA flies into next year, that 40K reward may become a 45K or 50K reward.
