Do you ever use any hotel points or frequent flyer miles for personal use?

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.

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!

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.

My husband travels some and also charges large amounts of money on a monthly basis for work. 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.

I don't travel often, but I do need to get better about using my rewards numbers to get some points!

Yup, starpoints from work took care of our honeymoon and Thailand and are well on the way to setting us up for next summer.

Ok, this makes me feel better I usually hotel.com rewards that I earn but for some reason just felt really guilty about it since our company has never mentioned any sort of policy.

I don't travel often enough to get really good rewards, but whatever I accrue is mine to keep and use as I see fit.

yup, at one job i was constantly flying to vancouver and argentina and those miles i racked up bought me a few good vacation plane tickets.
now when DH travels for work i insist he fly on certain airlines and stay at certain hotels, all in the name of points!
