What would you do with 26,000 BA miles?

Every time I check, no flights are available. The miles will expire soon. I'm 1K with United. Any options other than flying with them?

1. Fly one way between LA and New York in business class on AA, with no fuel surcharge payable.

2. Fly round trip from London to Copenhagen in business class and still have 7000 Avios left over.

3. Treat a relative or friend to a free trip somewhere.

Book hotel stays and car rental with Avios


To make your trip complete, you can use your Avios points to get great deals in thousands of hotels around the world. Or enjoy the freedom of the road when you rent a car using Avios.

Can you extend the expiration of all of the miles by earning a few more, like on a car rental or other non-flying option? If so, then:

So I don't need to have BA's credit card to use miles at a hotel stay? Thanks for the information. Forgot about rental cars.
