[QUOTE="Hanoi IG, post: 806477, member: 3450"] Interesting. So far I have used my points/miles for long haul international business and first. I consider I've gotten quite a few pretty good deals. It seems that short trips, especially US domestic are not necessarily a good use of miles, especially when the co-pay or whatever it is called has to be taken into account. On the other hand, free is still free and points/miles are only good when used. I plan all of our travel around things like the opera or to visit places that we really want to go. That said, I am often just checking to see what I might be able to do to get good use out of these miles. We are retired so don't have to worry about when we travel. I like your point about using flexible points, especially Chase which can give you a cent and a half per point. We often forget that cash is still king. [/QUOTE]
