I had more than 75K expired since I was not aware of the cut in for time to expiration from 36 months to 18 months.
They have different requirements based on the number of expired miles and flight can be AA, BA or Iberia, japan airlines. But the 750 base miles min per flight seem to have been discontinued.
Not sure the extra 6K or so miles over 75K is worth extra 3K partner miles and 1 RT which is minimum 100$.
Here are the terms:
