Gift a one-way upgrade to a friend flying US? costs 15K domestic.
If you can find a way to top it up to 20,000, you could get a star partner redemption within Europe or two intra-Hawaii. At 25,000, you can get a domestic ticket on US, UA, or (soon) CO, or a Star award within S America, availability permitting.
