Actually BJJ you can get tickets on other airlines with Mypoints through vacationmiles, in fact 20,000 mypoints=25,000ff miles. If you geo the free ticket route rather than the miles my guess is that the ticket will earn you ff and status miles! See the following post and the Mypoints site
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/002237.html also to help you with earning mypoints see

P.S. If anyone want to sign up with Mypoints and is feeling generous use my username as a referral: lorenkoeman then once signed up the above ling should net you 350-400 miles per week, have fun!
