[QUOTE="heavenlyjane, post: 824125, member: 2226"] I think it's funny that you refer to 140K and 150K buckets as orphan points. I use that term for the multitude of reward buckets that I have that range from 1437 HIlton Honors points to 9,432 United miles. These are miles that I've earned but cannot use currently. They occasionally haunt me because I refused to consider them useless. But your point is well-taken.
