Greetings. So, I have a minor issue I thought I'd ask about here. (I did a search and read the "everything you wanted to know about e500s" thread, to no avail.)

Nearly all of my travel these days is international, and I've accrued well over 40 e500s. On my rare US domestic flights, I have enough CR1s that I almost never even bother trying my e500s.

Now, some of the e500s are due to expire. I know they no longer convert to RDMs, and I can accept that, but I'd like to know if it's possible to gift them to someone -- or even to a charity or some such. I'd like to see some _value_ to someone for these upgrades, in short.

Any suggestions? Sure would be neat if I could trade them for SWUs at some mark-up rate -- say 20 e500s to "buy" an SWU. I'd be on that like white on rice, but I don't see any alternatives other than letting them expire. Even when I've sponsored upgrades for friends, I'm only given the choice of SWU or CR1, and never e500s.

Cheers,

1Ken

P.S. Yes, I know there are many worse problems I could have...
