Some would argue the $10k since I wouldn't actually put out that money. But, $5k would be a good compromise??? In any event, that's what we use all of our points for-travel packages and international J travel.
A question to help me try to learn how to maximize my MR points. I agree business travel would be the best use of the airline points, but it seems to me that the 120k points only gets one of you in business class. Do you then buy the other business class tickets (presumably you are traveling with another person)? Or what is your strategy there? Thanks.
