If it is 60,000 Asia miles for J to Europe then that is awesome!!! However you don't have 60,000 RBC pts. The BA promo is apparently just around the corner so your 45,000 RBC pts would become 67,500 BA miles. That is just about 2 tickets to Hawaii on AA (70,000) and you can get the rest from some Avis/Hertz rentals at 500 each. Beware of BA fees on their own metal, they are HUGE. AA wanted about $120 to Europe and BA $240 from their respective programs. I know zero about Asia Miles.
I am waiting for this promo with great anticipation as I have an award on hold with Alaska to San Fran for just before Christmas (to hold the inventory) but don't quite have the miles in my AS account. BA will usually hold for a week and I will do that on THU and hope the promo starts Oct 1 and then get the TF monday and go to SFO for 16,500 RBC pts! Current fares are approaching $600 CAD taxes in.
