For example, I just used 45K of NW Worldperks miles for a transcon ticket in F. Not the best use of miles, but, I'd rather use it than lose it.
Burn, baby, burn!
You're not going to lose any NW miles so why would you feel it necessary to burn 45k NW miles now? You won't lose them when WorldPerks gets folded into Delta SkyMiles. They transfer into SkyMiles on a one to one basis; if you don't have a SkyMiles account they will create one for you when the time comes. This fear that folks have about losing miles is largely unfounded.
