Never choosing upgrade awards again. Just not sure what else has any value to me.
On the other hand, I booked a 3 night mini vacation/bed run at the Sheraton Waikiki on points… booked the cheapest city view room, and used my NUAs to get upgraded to a lovely Kai Suite. That suite goes for like $1600 a night.
