I think there is a catch22 situation. I spend money to buy ticekts and accumulate miles to maintain my status but end up with too many miles unused. Fortunately, so far I have never let them expire.
When do you use your miles? At what point it is prudent to use them rather than paying for tickets?
I use them once a year for an international family trip. The tickets usually go for $1,000+ so it makes sense to use miles. I pay for domestic family trips.
Overall, I try to use them up as soon as I get them.
