Tracking Rewards

I don't love having to travel for work, but I do derive a lot of satisfaction from watching the rewards points rack up. And while I tend to use mine exclusively for free hotel stays (the best value-for-points exchange, in my opinion), I have been known to spend some airport downtime browsing through all of the cool gadgets and exotic getaways available from rewards programs. The Marriott Rewards program - where I was just tempted to cash in my points in on a few flat-screens - has one of the largest virtual malls among the rewards giants. It's definitely worth checking out!

In the meantime, I am curious: how do you spend your hotel rewards program points? Let us know by posting a comment below. As always, safe travels!
