Seems like GPU almost impossible to use internationally this year unless you pay almost the business class fare. I say pick someplace you would really enjoy going to domestically and consider a couple of transcontinentals. Although this time of year you could easily spend that on one r/t to New England or Miami sadly.

The other issue with international is all the country fees which wont count towards PQD. I really hate this pqd crap. The least they could do is credit you the entire cost of every ticket, talk about severely diluting the value of flying for miles...
