My FB miles are expiring, all 162,000 of them, by 12/31/15.
Option 1 would be to use it, buy a trip for the family for nyc-fll, but I would still have 62,000 points left to use.
Option 2 - I contacted FB and told them that my wife just gave birth and we don't want to fly now with a small baby. This is what they answered me, please let me know what you think!
