How to Use Matmid Point for Best Value

As a frequent flyer on El Al I've accumulated a large number of point and some will be expiring later in the year. I don't want to loose them. But I do want to make sure I use them effectively. Examples of questions that come to mind are:
1. should they be used for upgrades or full purchase?
2. what impact does the above decision have on tier point earning (retaining status).
3. Best to save them for other family members (though they son't have any status so assume the redemption value is less)?

etc.
