I had about 2000 miles with United that were going to expire at the end of this month. I could keep them from expiring if I bought another ticket or something from one of their partners, but nothing interested me.
Then I realized I could spend them. I was surprised to learn I could get four $25 gift cert's from restaurant.com for the 2000 miles. That's $100 for 2000 miles...surprising considering it costs around 25,000 miles for one roundtrip ticket - which for most of the places we travel would be ~$250.
I thought this was a really great deal, especially when I was ready to just let the miles expire when the "aha" moment came along. So don't let your miles expire - you'd be surprised what you can buy with them!
