MU points (hard to call them miles) are pretty valuable right now because you can redeem them on flights that never release inventory to DL (or DL chooses not to show). When I want to redeem, I search for availability using someone else's account or try my luck over the phone. The process is a bit tedious but works and award prices are often good. If I flew MU and partners more, I'd probably shoot for diamond because their upgrade policy is sweet.
