jerryhung has an excellent thread on getting value from the points, but many of the terms may be unfamiliar to you.

So, you need to either 1) Do the research yourself (starting with jerryhung's thread) or 2) Use a point booking service that know all the ins and outs for you , (and you pay a fee for that). I believe there are several and i know [MENTION=210811]Jasper2009[/MENTION] on this board offers such a service.

I dont know how many points you have, but the best value is using them for Business class seats to Europe ("J Class").

Thank you very much. I am not afraid to spend a lot of time researching to get the most bang for my buck (or in this case, bang for my miles!) but the sheer volume of what I need to learn is a daunting. I need to start at the very basics. I will check out Jerry's thread and probably contact Jasper2009 as well.
