Any advice is helpful. I'll be making business trips, but that's about all I foresee, and my employer pays for those - I wish I could use my points and get "reimbursed" with dollars haha... Any thoughts are helpful
Why not use the miles to get a First Class ticket for someone you love to visit you. That way you get a good value from the miles and don't have to go anywhere.
