You could put an advert in gumtree: "Looking for a hot young Ukrainian with 57,086 BA miles, in need of a Club class award ticket to the US, in exchange for a wicked night of passion".

Smirnoff...i am LOL....
to OP....any credit cards you can milk for some exta points for a nominal amount of $$....
if so you can up your balance a little more for a small price and that opens more choices for you....
as Smirnoff notes, it really depends....

Do you want to make Silver with the points? Are you going to be doing much BA/OW flying to make use of it if you get there?
Are you going to spend the miles on yourself only or travelling with someone?
Are you looking for short/long haul? Traveller or Club?

Would travel with my partner who is also a blue card holder and has about the same amount of miles.
Just booked 2 tickets to BGI in club for holiday in Oct in the 2 for 1 sale, the booking says that i cannot upgrade my ticket on the system.
Any good deals for 2 short haul club tickets that i can put these miles towards.
thanks.

As one or two others have stated, you need to give us more info so we can help. I would also recommend that you have a good trawl through the Ultimate Guide sticky and especially consider a) what you want to achieve in terms of status and b) what you want to achieve in terms of using your miles. So do you just want toi burn the miles and never go on BA again? POr do you have a plan to get to Silver? Or are you saving miles for a once-in-a-lifetime trip? So consider both your short term and long term objectives in being a BAEC member. Then give us a few clues so we can help.

Looks like the OP has been around for a while judging by the registration date, however not if looking at the posts 
You both have about the same amount miles? Why don't you create a Household Account and thus pool the miles together for a healhty sum of 80.000 or more. Both of you can buy additional miles, up to 19.000 during your member year, then you will have 100.000 which gets one of you to The United States of USA in Club, or x4 MFU's (MFU stands for Upgrading to a higher cabin with the use of miles) to CW from cheap WT+ Tickets.
Slightly OT: I have no clue what to do this weekend. Can someone please give me some advice as to what I should do?

All of this information is available to you in the Ultimate Guide so I don't know why I've spelt it out for you, but I'm in the Senator lounge at GVA and a bit bored so it helped pass about 90 seconds.
