An interesting concept - buying award flights with foreign carriers now.

We're planing a big trip EWR-OZ in October 2021 and currently have close to 1M miles. It might be worth booking a Mileage[burn] run with them on a foreign carrier for next March and pay the redeposit fee in February if UA is still standing. If we can't take the big trip, we can at least go somewhere, even if for only a few nights.
