i don't need the miles soon, but it will get me another Intl. 1st class award ticket.

so, the xtra miles do provide value for me @ $216 for 7194 in addition to my 1p miles of 4796(2398 x2).

as for the creative routings, i don't have ample time to take side trips due to work, hence the award accelerator is most prudent.
