I've had a rather mixed bag so far.
With American I used 260,000 for two OneWorld J class tickets on a US-Rome-Brazil-Mexico-US trip. I have also used some for a last minute ticket for myself to Michigan, for family and friends to come visit me, and for Admirals Club memberships. Right now I'm saving up for another OneWorld J ticket.
With NW/Delta I've used them for friends to come visit me.
With United I've used a lot of them for upgrades. I got to try the new 767 J class seat last year. I've also used a lot for the Red Carpet Club and for friends to come visit me.
With USAirways I used some for a friend to take a trip he couldn't afford to, for a friend and I to go to San Francisco and for a friend of mine to accompany me to Savannah. I now only earn US miles with my Bank of America Check Card so they're accululating rather slowly.
