Decision probably depends on several factors including your financial situation, how badly/quickly you need the miles (like to top off account for a specific award), your expectations for earning more miles in the future, and the worth per mile you will extract from them once you use them.

A quick overview of my situation would be....

We'll say I have 6 accounts with 70k each.

Desired award travel is avail. for 80-90k per

So, each account is 10-20k short of needed funds

Transfer of 10-20k per account is somewhat steep considering the fees

Useage, would like to cash in one or two for Sept or Oct.

.....

Would doing some trades (FT Coupon Trades Forum) be worth it ?

Go to FF pts selling website ?

I am open to any and all suggestions, thanks^
