Just dumped the last of my miles too .. bad exchange rate but worth it to be rid of this account forever.
Not only could I never find a flight that worked out for me (2 airports with-in reasonable driving distance) the flights I did find were always on sale, leaving the value of the points not worth using
As a note to those interested, you can transfer points for a free night at a Raddisson (in the US, Mexico and Canada) for 25,000 points a night.
I used it for a few nights for a beachfront in Melbourne Fl, saved me about $200 a night
Other than that points are useless and flight schedules are poor, so not worth it
