I find the value for the 1000 CHF (I will most probably bid around 1000€ of 1100CHF) much better compared to miles if I do want to upgrade since with 111k I can also get a one-way in F to SIN (of course with surcharges). OTOH, I have quite a number of M&M miles sitting there for the last few years, so it could also be a good chance to use them before further devaluation.

Any opinion here?

Cheers!

If it’s between 1000 CHF or 85000 miles, I’d go for the 1000 CHF (because I think you can get a lot more value out of 85000). If you have status and your miles don’t expire, even more so.
