His company considers the miles/points a perk of having to do those things so they are ours. Often he charges more than even his salary for the month so the points we are able to accumulate are awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-travel-for-work#post-1142959 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:01:24 +0000 Corduroy 1142959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last job I earned a lot of free night stays that were only good in awful locations (because I only traveled to awful locations). I used the free nights at surprise date nights with DH. I booked a hotel near his office once and texted him a street address. He loved that. That was before LO though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-travel-for-work#post-1142917 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:44:44 +0000 psw27 1142917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't travel for work but DH does and the understanding his company has is that the miles he earns are his! We are flying to China on free miles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-travel-for-work#post-1142904 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:39:52 +0000 MaisyMay 1142904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had a job that had me travel, I did. I was able to get a free flight so DH and I were able to fly up to see family with only having to pay for his ticket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-travel-for-work#post-1142897 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:37:28 +0000 fussygal 1142897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you ever use any hotel points or frequent flyer miles for personal use? </p>
