But eg i can trade my Club Calrsson points for paypal credit without going near points.com. I think theres a fee for both ends to pay even when exchanging miles

agree - if you and I exchanged miles for different programmes, there is a fee to pay...maybe to cover the fees charged by the airlines for the exchange...so far cannot see any fees for the gift card options.

We may experiment and buy a smaller WalMart card or something - something we know we will use...and see how that goes before committing to more.

Just had a little try on the site. Seems as though the giftcards might be a no go as you would have to have it delivered, and they might not send them to the U.K.
Tried the Paypal option, and even though I had more than enough AAdvantage points for a $100 transfer I kept getting "you do not have sufficient points for this transaction, or you do not have the proper status level with you airline program to continue"

Thought about that, but I could have it sent to family in the US and have them send it on...and some are electronic so you get a code emailed (which for somewhere like Best Buy, if you could order online to collect in store would work).

Still toying with the idea - also checking options on United's site to buy stuff since we could have whatever sent to family.

I knew our miles were expiring sometime relatively soon, so regardless good to have the heads up a few months before they actually do to see what options there are...actually never occurred to me there WAS any option that didn't involve finding a way to keep them alive.

OK, so the next trip is on. I probably have the longest T- anyone has ever had on here, T-300!

Booked using Avios points and made a good saving. Going a week later than normal, but will still be there the same time as pebblesmax.

Will be keen to get hotels booked even though I know it's far to early for offers.

they were really handy, saved carrying around bottles with you... as long as the tops were sealed there was no problem!*
