50,000 Emirates Skywards expiring at end of this month

[sxparkin]

Looking for ideas to use my Skyrewards 50k before they expire – I have no plans to travel with Emirates or partners like TAP and there is no way it seems to spend on Retail option (Sky rewards exclusives) on the Emirates website which has no choices – to extend the expiry the price is very high ? I would happily transfer the points to my Marriott account but I cannot see an option to do that on Emirates or Marriott sites (only transfer Marriott to Skyrewards at rate of 3:1) Any pointers appreciated ! Thanks

The Arsenal VIP seats seem to have sold out for the first part of the season.

Heathrow Rewards may be your best bet, assuming you don’t want to transfer to easyJet credit (easyJet gets you more per point I think).

Note that Heathrow Rewards points from Emirates (£20 for 6k) can ONLY be used for airport shopping and parking, they cannot be moved onwards to Avios etc.

Sure you don’t want to book Milan to New York or one of the other fifth freedom routes?

“assuming you don’t want to transfer to easyJet credit”

Is it possible to transfer emirates skywards miles into easyJet credit, rather than flights, with a view to booking flights after the expiry deadline at the end of this month?
