I plan to use these points next year for some mini-RTWs (not sure on the class yet).

Just wondering if it would be prudent to transfer given the continuing devaluation of the program, which from this point of view seems to be devaluing faster than other FF programs.
Irrespective of the devaluation etc the mini RTW in F on AP is still agood value. You can transfer the points and book the mini RTW for next year before Jul and you'll still be able to do F on 120,000 points. Also, some of the points have actually decreased eg to Indian subcontinent.
