Altnerative uses for skywards points

Hi guys, just wondering if I can use my skyward points for anything else besides flying with emirates ? I had a pretty much poor/ indifferent experience on all my legs with them on both F and J and unlikely to be traveling with them again so just thinking if I can "redeem" other stuff like hotels etc. ?

Yes. Look at the website. There are many options. Not great value generally but better than letting them expire. You can also pretty much drain the last remaining points in Duty Free but I think that might not apply to T1 and T2 so you might need to fly EK to do the duty free option.

Yes, use rocketmiles for bookings, you can redeem all your points
Alternatively, if you are feeling nice and have alot of points you can upgrade other bookings

Thanks guys - I just had a look and can only find this article: https://www.emirates.com/uk/english/...ing-miles.aspx

It doesn't seem to show any options to book hotels with miles. The only function I found was to bid at experience tickets lol.
