One World award around Asia/Australia in business, involving 12 flights
AA Partner award to the Olympics in Beijing
AA Award to Olympic Trials (swimming) in Omaha
working on award travel to St Thomas for my middle brother and his wife

For 2007:
One World award to Hong Kong, Melbourne and Sydney in coach
Gave away two domestic awards to friends
Flew my sister and her husband to Ireland (AA 40K off peak awards)

I've never had a problem burning miles, and I tend to use them on routings that would be well outside what I would pay for a ticket.
