We both had an email to say we each had 12,700 Skywards miles expiring at the end of October. We were offered the opportunity to 'spend' the miles with a 20% discount at Emirates High Street. I thought I'd ask a couple of questions to get some advice.

1 Is it a case of we might as well spend them because we are going to lose them anyway?

2 Is there p&p added to any order and can this be paid in miles also?

My other observation is that 12,700 miles roughly equates to less than US$60 judging from the goods on offer which seems pretty worthless miles to me. We've accumulated about 70,000 miles over the years with at least 1 J class return UK/Australia annually - less than US$300!

I'll read through the Skywards sticky thread as well for more information but thanks in advance for any comments.
