That gave me an idea. I have some orphan miles here and there, and no interest in magazine subscriptions. I'd give up my orphan United miles to get a $25/night room at a Holiday Inn. Good idea. Now I have research to do.

You know, the moment I posted this, I thought that, in these days of The Great Recession, had I re-framed it, it could very likely serve an important and very serious FlyerTalk-type purpose. Even re-titling it "How to Survive on Your Miles & Points After Separation: Employment or Marriage". Hmm... It could still go that way. @:-)
