I earn them and burn them at a value far, far greater than 2 cents and I'm not sitting on much of a stash now (about 185K after the NRT trip). With the sale (which is the only reason I'm considering it), it just looks like a reasonable way to get to the 210K I'd need for two C awards to Europe.

I also don't have a lot of paid travel planned this year. Thanks for the input.
