Chiangi,
HK49 worth only 1,000 points? To me, that sounds like a poor transfer rate. Of course, the other option is nothing from United - which is their right.
Perhaps you should consider posting them on the Connection Board yourself and see what you are offerred.
I would think people would be more than willing to part with at least two 500 mile paper certificates for an HK49 (I know I would).
Just my two cents.
