Emirates Airlines Skywards - Cheapest (free) way to get 318 skywards points

Hi

I need 318 skywards points for an upgrade award but don't want to buy 2000 points as it seems like a waste can anyone suggest a way for me to get 318 points, all help much appreciated

find a friend who is travelling on EK and get them to join your family
and you get 500 bonus for their first flight and 20% of their mileage
or

get comped to SPG gold and go and have dinner at an sheraton hotel for $120us and then transfer it to your account.
you have to be gold to transfer under 2500 pts.
