Instead
of using your expiring points for something you don’t want, consider who else
could use them.
This
Sunday is Memorial Day and one of the ways you can honor fallen service members
is to donate your unused miles to those who need medical care. Fisher House
provides free airline tickets to allow military personnel
to travel for treatment at a military medical center. This program
also enables family members to visit the injured service member who is
being treated.
You
can also donate miles to Angels Donate Frequent Flyer Miles
, which coordinates air
travel for patients who need specialized medical care far from home.
Make a Wish Foundation
makes use of donated airline miles, too.
Children with life-threatening medical conditions are treated to a
special event, which often includes travel.
Your miles could help make a child’s wish come true.
Individual airlines may even allow you to
donate directly from their Web sites.
Click on the link that allows you to redeem your miles and look for a “donate”
option.
If you don’t have enough miles to donate or
you feel that you don’t have any other option than to redeem your points for
magazines, consider donating subscriptions to a VA hospital, convalescent
center or nursing home.
Are you aware of other
nonprofits who can use frequent-flyer miles?
