TrueBlue Points
Out of curiosity, what is the consensus on a good amount of True Blue points to keep stashed in your account? I have been flying JB for almost a year (not full time, I split with Delta to keep my status on a major) and have accumulated 76k TB points. I figure they will be good for domestic leisure travel someday - I just wonder how people view the value of TB points.
It looks like flights range from 15k-north of 30k - is that a good estimate?

Example is, if you fly 5 flights on AA that is 5k miles R/T each time, that is 25k miles. AA at times has great availability for 25k RT domestically, you do 5x 5k mile trips on B6, you won't even get to redeem JFK-LAX, like you would on AA for JFK-LAX. B6 on an award for a few random dates from Now until August is averaging about to be 37,800 trueblue points.

Reward flight values
I have gotten JFK-LAS for 11k each way . The points vary by flight/date and can change from day to day likes the fares do . On the upside if you are stuck paying the expensive nyc-fl fares during the holidays you can earn a flight quicker than on AA or CO or DL.
