At this point, continue to hold them and use for hotel stays.

Some parts of the system were massively devalued. Other parts were not. But in any case, 411k still buys you 1 to 2 weeks at a good hotel somewhere. Much more valuable than a small pile of FF miles.

Ireland, Middle East, parts of Asia, some random places around the U.S./Canada, etc. There's still some okay value out there.
