Expiring Points - Save or Keep?
Hi All,
I have 7450 points that expire in a month and am unsure about what to do with them.
- What's the dollar value of these points?
- Can I use the points to buy a ticket for someone else?
- If not, is it worth taking a very cheap flight just to keep the points active? If so, what's the cheapest itinerary?
Thanks so much for your help!

You can use the points to buy some one else a ticket. They are worth about 100-110
(up to 1.5 center per point) although it may vary. The cheapest point usage is 5000 points for a 1 way ticket (B6 also just had some sales) .
