In the past i used it to reward AA gold to an employee and some admiral membership.
This year I'm thinking of using either
1. the 650 point for ONE Segment domestic class upgrade
2. The one way upgrade for INTL flights to Asia or Europe for 3100 points
what awards do you guys like to use?
In the past couple of years, I've used 6 BXP3 awards (INTL one-way upgrades), as I personally find this is the best value for them.
10 hours in international J for 3100 points is 310 points per hour. It's 216 points per hour on a typical 3-hour domestic flight. BUT, you're only in a recliner seat, and usually without AVOD and a much more limited offering of in-flight dining.
The value is ultimately determined by you, of course.
