That said, I'd spend some time on FT before spending them on anything. Lots to learn and if nothing else, reading the differing perspectives will help you determine what is important to you. The two extremes are using them for a 25,000 mile domestic award versus for a ridiculous First Class experience that most of us could only have dreamt of save for miles. Obviously, I vote for the latter!

And welcome to FT!
