What are you saving your reward points/miles for?

I am trying to use mine for my trip to Sicily next year. Not sure how many I need for first class tix. I've only got about 200k so I think I'll be short

Good question as I have nothing on the radar right now.

I got about 260k AA miles that maybe some day will be usable, and I'm back up to 100k Chase UR.

Have my Peru trip in two weeks (biz both ways) and South Africa next March (biz there, econ back), but then the wife wants to have a kid so.....

I like to think I'm leaning Croatia. I think that is the new tops on my running list and would be travel time/kid friendly.

The planning gets me through the day, though the Date Duration calculator website is a real bummer when the return is "200 days" til vacation or whatever.

I saved mine for a while for this year. I am 8 weeks from my 2017 Mega vacation

Like stated above, the flight for two was a lot of miles but very little cash (tax). Was a nice little bonus for a big trip for us.


Punta Cana (8 days) ----> Riviera Maya (8 days) ------> Cabo (8 days)



Almost time to go.

Damn bro, that's awesome to vacay for that long.. Visited Punta Cana last year. Had a fantastic time besides going on charter fishing and not catching shite.

Like my vacation time I accrue at work, I don't save it.

I get a new CC every other year with a good sign on bonus and usually use those points for airfare and whatever I accumulate point wise through the year on the other card gets me basically one free trip (airfare) a year. Beyond that I don't really do any overnight travel for work so from time to time I'll accumulate enough Hilton Honors points for a free night but thats about it.

Not sure yet, we just moved back to Louisiana where grandparents could watch the kids... looking for a big trip next year

Have 220k UR points
130k delta
160k American
110k ihg

Ought to be able to go somewhere awesome with those

I wish I had the patience to save them up. I spend them as fast as they come in. Wish I was kidding.

To be honest, I built all my Delta miles (over 400K) with my Delta Amex card. I one man supplier for my company and they love to take Amex for some reason. I buy everything I buy from them ( its a lot for a small company) and pay for it with my Sky miles card. Pay the bill at the end of the month and I get free miles

Been doing that for about 5 years and just keep getting and using the miles.

I just used most of my ihg reward points for a long weekend in Charleston over memorial day.

Saved about $800, but now I only have 45000 points left

Do you have the IHG CC?

My wife and I both have one, so for $49 X 2 ($98) in fees a year, we get 2 nights at an IHG property. I use it for wedding weekends because those drain my finances the most because I usually can't plan too much on the points end to offset the 3/4 a year we travel to.

I never put spend on the card. $98 a year for $300 a year (at least) in value works for me. I believe the NO wedding I had this year I saved >$500 on the free night certs alone. Booked a third night with the points acquired on that card's signup bonus but not really the point of my post.

I flew with my wife Asiana biz to Seoul from LAX. What a delight.

Made United Biz Shanghai to Chicago look like Walmart, and Asiana isn't even the best Asian airliner.
