re: What are you saving your reward points/miles for?

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.
