Points to burn

Hello,

I've stopped flying ElAl long time ago and let the points to expire every six months. Now I got around 300 left. Just wondering, is there anything I can do with them? Of course, I can donate them, but is there any other option, like shopping, converting to miles into other programs? Thank you and Shabbat Shalom

Donate or upgrade. Very little else to do with 300 pts.

If you are flying El Al soon (or I think if someone you know is flying), you can use the points to pay the cost of the some of the price of El Al duty free items. IF the points are going to waste anyway, some of the items have very good prices after paying partly with matmid points. (Unfortunately they don't let you pay entirely with Matmid points).
