You might be able to transfer them into certain hotel programs. The one that I remember for sure was Hilton and they did count for CPQP, but as you probably know they discontinued their relationship with Rapid Rewards.
Just a disclaimer though - your redemption rates will not be that great, but if you're in a bind to renew your CP it might be worth it.
