[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use points for flights for our family of 4, and charge everything to get those points (cc bill paid in full every month).  Stay in AirBnBs, eat breakfast in the AirBnB, inexpensive lunches, and maybe one expensive dinner out in a week, but mostly fairly casual - we value the experiences and try to eat where the locals eat, not the touristy places

I sometimes find package deals that are less expensive, or do a Costco trip over Christmas - they are way less money.  [/quote]

Not understanding how the points don't run out at some point. If you get say, average 2 pts per dollar spent (amex) and a single premium economy flight is 50,000 points that's charging 25,000 for one 'free' plane ticket. Don't people using points have to get them from sign-on bonuses and constant business travel as well?[/quote]

Just paid for our Christmas European flights with points (one international trip per year with points, could be Christmas, could be spring break, not usually summer but could be).  No sign on bonus, and annual bonus is in the $2-$5k range.  [/quote]
