    What Do You Spend Your Bonus Points From Visa/AMEX/MC On?

    I have a couple of hundred thousand aeroplan points kicking around and am wondering what I should get? I just cashed in about 100,000 points a few months back for a PSP, IPOD music system and a few other toys.

    I'm thinking I might save up for a all inclusive vacation to St Lucia for me and Mrs. DH... How about you guys, do you save up those points for a rainy day or do you just splurge every month on cool toys?

      Question... Why would you use them for something that is tax deductible? Why would'nt you use them on something that isn't? Just curious?

        I got a travel agent coming tomorrow to my office to show me a few packages they have. The Royal Bank rewards program really sucks unless you have the Aeroplan points but the USD visa doesn't offer them

          Mark,

          Best(rewards) card in Canada is MBNA's Starwood card. It looks sexy too.

          See: http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/ma...icles/credit4/ (good article)

          and see the reward(s): http://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury...propertyID=189
          and the Bora Bora resort ($$$$$)

              Cool thanks for the heads up, I have the Amex Platinum Aeroplan card and it's been great! 1.5 points for every dollar spent and you get a ton of other cool benefits like first class lounge access and a ridiculous amount of insurance coverage. No preset spending limit helps as well

              I get a ton of compliments on the card whenever I use it... "Ooooh nice card", "I have never seen one of these before"... It's like the new black here in Canada LOL! ;)

                  Yes I did
                  I figure I got 4 years worth of points and I only redeemed them once I should use them up on something and travel is the only thing worthwhile. It just sucks going by yourself though.

                                    I have a stupid AOL VISA with like a million points saved up. I could have free AOL dial-up until the day I die but obviously I don't need dial-up anymore. The only reason I still use the card is it has a low fixed rate that I locked in years ago and it has the highest spending limit of any card I've ever owned. It seems like any card with decent rewards either has a variable rate or a high fixed rate.
