Would appreciate suggestions. I have about $1000 in rewards at a casino at which I no longer play (for reasons I need not explain here). They were ready to expire due to not playing for 6 months so I went and earned 1 point to keep them alive.

I can use them for catalogue merchandise at about a 400% mark up.

I can try to spend it in their pretty good steakhouse but that's a lot of meals and an hour drive each way

I can convert it to cash at 50%.

There is no conversion to free play option.

I didn't even know I had these points until they sent me a notice that they would expire. All meals had been comped so I actually never used any points there in the 20 years or so I have been going there. It was never a primary destination for me but I had clients in the area so would stop in from time to time if I was out that way.
