Can't comment on ifrs but if you find no other use, they can be exchanged for Hilton stay at airport the night before. About 20,000 last time for us.

As the OP for this thread can I just say a big thank you to you all for replying and providing loads of good tips and suggestions. Feel like I can start to form some sort of plan now ready for sept when Aug 2020 fights begin to release.
Cheers all. Happy holidays.

Don't give up looking, I signed up to the reward finder site, after fantastic advice on here, there were no reward seats up at release date. I was advised to check on the reward site/ VA text first thing in the morning as they were usually loaded overnight. I obsessively checked the site and they came up in school holidays at 10.30am, I booked them straight away, then the reward site tracker email came in 10 mins later. The seats then dropped off the reward availability, but have since reappeared!

I called the flying club last month and bagged 2 flights, one companion reward flight and 1 with air miles, so we just paid £240 each in taxes for flights to Miami on the 4th August, so the flights are there, just have to be creative on the routes you take.

I found myself texting the flying Club on Saturday morning as the flights had been released by a couple of days before and was really cheeky saying that I was looking for 7 seats flying from Manchester to Orlando 24th April 2020 at 9.55am I really thought they would say none available or maybe 4 seat, after 30 minutes got a text back they had them and did I want to book them took about 20 minutes to gave the details for the 7 of us even paid by text message they sent a link so I could make a secure payment. Really could not believed I would get 7 seats only had to pay the tax and fee. Was surprised really so carry on collecting the miles good luck OP.

Apologies, I used the wrong terminology, I meant to say that they are released then so you sometimes have a better chance at that time for summer holiday bookings

It cost us 80k miles each. Most of those miles were accrued churning the Amex gold cards but sadly that’s stopped now, so I’m investigating other ways to earn. I’m back up to 260k of miles now having used 120k for a Barbados flight earlier in the year and hoping for reward seats again next year 🤞
