For sure. As an example, 150K miles to Asia round-trip in J (or 170K in partner J) is sometihng you'd have to value at at least 1.8-2 cents. It's definitely tougher than ever before, but that's still my minimum threshold for redemptions. As Kacee said, the last minute domestic/NA redemptions are another great deal. Just used 25K miles for YOW-YYZ-SFO (with a full day in YYZ) in J on AC, when I was being asked for $600+ for a paid coach ticket.
