I agree with Sirecca
My miles are always being used; however, they've got to get me somewhere really incredible or quite a distance away.
$260.00 for a RT is not worth burning 25,000 miles. I'd rather hold on to them and be more selective with flights with a further distance or I'd hold on to them to add onto a FC award ticket down the road.
Just my .02 cents! Travel safe

Using 25k for a $260 trip is not aggressive use of the miles. However, everyone's priorities are different. I wouldn't use it. However, if you don't use it, you might forget about it until after the miles expired (now 2 years, not 3). Enjoy your trip!

Pay the $260! Don't forget that U will need to pay $5--$7.50 for 9/11 Security Fee on that award. Also, on a revenue ticket U will earn >2000 miles, maybe 2500 if U book online.
For 30K U (or a friend living in a snowy state) can fly free to Mexico or the Caribbean next winter
