First class flights

430k and also don’t know since I also have so many AA miles in Dallas

Pay for a flight that would require a lot of fees not covered by miles.

Converting to Bonvoy? Yeah or nah?

It’s an awful value

Redeem for flights, it's the best use

If not traveling, open a Schwab Amex plat and convert to $5500

But that would be sacrilegious!
