I ask because I really regret spending miles recently to get a iPod Touch 8GB from UA. I would much rather have used those miles towards a flight reward even if it would have cost me $ to get more miles.
3k points really doesn't get you far. you can't get anything useful nor upgrade to anything. I think the best deal was UA cinema tickets for 2000points.
15k miles can get you to shanghai or Taipei from hkg.
