We'd certainly use on other things like gift cards if that has a decent value usage of points.

Thanks in advance. I know, it's my first post here.
Explore the BA/Avios program. You can book AS flights using Avios. It's a quirky program with flights "priced" per segment. If you can fly to Maui nonstop on AS, then it should be a strong candidate for you. Be aware that you will get .8 Avios for 1 MR point.
