They are called "Award" tickets, not "Bonus" tickets. You will have better luck searching to an international gateway city like MIA. Using the 5 week calendar view, I see pretty good low level coach availability in the fall (Sep - Nov) for 1 week trips to MIA. Note that the price actually goes down on Oct 1 from 80K roundtrip to 70K roundtrip. FLL also shows decent 70K availability starting later in October through November (it appears you didn't search quite far enough out). Yes, these are mostly on partner metal flights. AF/KL/SU have high surcharges on award tickets originating outside the US. If you can find AZ metal flights, it's pretty reasonable (around $100 roundtrip).
