I am equally frustrated that I cannot book an international flight with miles and use my system wide upgrade certificates. I sure like Air New Zealand approach of using miles as mile per dollar. Maybe I need to switch to Singapore Airlines.
1. Pay with miles essentially does this, but with very small value per mile. With 600,000 miles, you get roughly $6,000 off the cost of a ticket, so less that one business class ticket TATL/TPAC in most circumstances.

2. Be very careful what you wish for.
