We are new to the points game, and so we had some points that we accumulated previously that we didn't even really think about (I shudder to think about how many points I've wasted in the past). I have two old credit cards that have points (USAA & BofA) as well as a smattering of Marriott, SPG, Hyatt, Carlson, and Kimpton stays. I can list specific balances if that's helpful.
My question is whether it would be advantageous in the long run to take the time & effort to try to top each one up to the next reward (free night for most), or to just let them expire & concentrate on my new chosen programs? Some already have enough points for at least one free night somewhere (USAA) but I think most don't. I know that I can transfer CSP to Hyatt & Marriott, but the rest, I'm not sure if I should just let them go. WWYD?
