You're welcome!

And I've also used points.com to transfer "orphaned" miles (tiny balances in programs I never use) into other programs that I do use. As you say, lousy rate of exchange, but I'd rather have, for example, 200 miles in a program that has 50K+ usable miles rather than 2,000 miles all by its lonesome with an airline that I never fly on.

The expiration date extension was just a side benefit.
