I bit the bullet and bought a total of 62K for my household account for E 1150,-. That will enable me to do 5 MFU for E 225 each. I see a lot of people raving about $300 PUG offers, so I guess this is about the same but with certainty. ^
Maybe don't need them right now although with 3 award bookings recently made I am down to <50K. I will earn a lot of them this year due to a new work assignment but what the heck.. I will spend them on good things.
Of course, paying by FB Amex I got an additional 2300 FB miles as I assume you will get extra BA miles if you pay by BA AMEX so it is in fact even more miles for the transaction.
