I'm coming up on the expiration of this year's(my first) and am trying to use it, rather than lose it. The problem is finding something that is economical. My closest airport is MDT but that adds a leg to the trip. I can be driven to DC airports, PHL or NY airports but that adds substantial cost to the trip.
Many flights are so cheap like to LAX that it's pointless to use the certificate for that. Also, wherever we go may involve an overnight or else an extremely early awakening as there are not so many non-stops.
There is also the additional cost of the trip for food, lodging and possibly entertainment. I wonder if it is worth it, but if I let it lapse, then why have the credit card.
Of course I realize that nobody can advise me on what is "worth it" to me. I just wonder what others are doing with this supposedly valuable asset.
