I have a quarter of a million CO miles in my account.

I have since moved to Australia and no longer fly all the time due to change of job and babies being born etc.....

Is there any way to make use of these points without being too abused in the process.

I know that a couple of QF awards sound nice but in reality it is not very practical as I would have to nest them with another ticket. 2 trips to NA in a year is not practical right now. Also... try to actually get a QF F award. Not easy.

Is there a way to launder the points through other programs that may be more useful to me in SYD? Any travel these days is to either Europe or Asia.

Appreciate any suggestions.
