Note that SAA APPEARS to have stopped offering the option of converting Voyager points to Hilton (at least, it has gone from the website). This is therefore no longer a sensible way of getting some value for the odd Emirates flight.
Not sure what I will do now with the 10,000 EK miles I'll be doing in January.

You can still credit EK flights to Voyager without any problem.
However, the only attraction of this was that Voyager let you transfer them out to Hilton Hhonors so you weren't stuck with a few thousand unwanted airline miles. I think this bit seems to have stopped.

Thanks everyone. Most of the suggestions would not work as I already have the Emirates points - I cannot now claim them on Voayager - nor is there a way to convert them to Voyager or anything else (unless I have misunderstood). The raffle idea is excellent - thank you. That is what I have done. Might as well use them for something even a little gamble. Otherwise they would just fade away. Cheers to all who tried to help.
