50% Discount on Points Purchase - Worth it?

On a frequent basis, I receive a promotional email from ElAl offering the possibility to purchase points at a 50% discount.
Does this equate to purchasing flights cheaper than paying cash?
What other considerations should one make - i.e. points expiry, seat availability, loss of Tier Point earning etc.?
