yea... i hoard them too... but I'll burn them when I want... all depends on the situation... for example, my when a soldier in my brothers unit was killed in Iraq and was being buried in Arlington, I used 50k on a domestic PS ticket to fly my brother to DC... some may say "not a good use of miles" but it's one of those times when you just do it... also, I just used over 100k to book an award ticket on the last DC-10 flight.... personal interest... I've been flying alot for work and have the miles to spare, though I try to keep about 250k in all my accounts... just in case.
