Advice for expiring miles
Hi I have 86K points that will be expiring in about a week, I can pay up to $1200 to keep them from expiring, which seems insane! So I thought I'd reach out to the experts on here to see if there was any suggestions to either extending them or using them. I don't have any EK flights coming up, but would like to use them to go to SIN in Jun or July.

Thanks for the tips and insight. As I'm booking for 4 people, cash+miles is my only real option, but the miles for cash comes out to ~400$ when I tried a dummy booking, and I don't want to impulse buy anything. So this may be "Au revoir" to my points.

Happy belated birthday, though. If your miles were expiring it means it was your birthday month
