If redeeming one BXP1 will keep your point total over 2k, there will still be enough for one round trip in the Continental North America, sounds like an excellent use of BE points.
Thanks - I had not realized the point values are for roundtrips; I had assumed that they were one-way prices.

I just booked SFO-JFK for mid-September in G and the O/W cost was $329. For a BXP1 eligible fare, I think that's a pretty decent redemption.
That's a good point; I care most about the upgrade on the redeye return and can endure Y (!) on the outbound daytime flight.
