I only used 20k this year to transfer to USAirways to keep my points there alive and take advantage of the 50% transfer promo US was offering. 20k SW points got me 37.5k US points with the bonus.
Had planned on using some points in 2010 but those stays were recently booked with HH points due to their impending devaluation. In addition, we cannot get away as much as I would like since my SO started a new job in 2008 and doesn't get as much vacation as I do.
