Get PP and spend $375K in MS?

I could spend a quarter of that on signup bonuses and use the money from selling the points to get "free" redeposits and come out ahead by a factor of 10 :P

I've probably done a few hundred changes and redeposits in the past 12 months.  They're lots of fun and a great time waster.  Also factor the other bennies of being Plat and the miles earned.
I had booked itins for every week for all kinds of combinations of pax during the SQ J/F PSS fun for earlier this year.

Honestly, I'm somewhat glad I don't have free redeposits.  As it is, I spend entirely too much time with this stuff. With that added bennie, I'd be jobless. And spouse-less.

Outbound: JFK-ICN-SIN(stop)-DPS in OZ F and SQ J
Inbound: DPS-BKK-FRA-MUC-YYZ-NYC in TG F and LH F

How did you add a stopover on a OW award?

I have OZ tickets on hold to ICN, but I'm having a hard time finding any decent flights to and from SIN/DPS. I'm out of ideas, but I really want to make this trip happen :-[. Does anyone have any ideas for creative routings? FYI I'm looking for 4 tickets.

I have jfk-icn-sin with a 10 min layover in icn should I try and ticket it and maybe they'll waive the change fee because I can't possibly catch my second leg?

I'm planning to go to to SIN and DPS, so which ever destination I can find availability either the inbound or outbound, and I'll work on the other destination from there.

They'll definitely waive the change fee for icn-sin. To add DPS, I don't know if that will happen
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.
