Given your name here, I'm guessing that we'll be wearing different colors at the game. :-) Good luck!
yep I'll be the one in cardinal and gold
I am using Marriott points as well for the lodging and my free avis weekend for two of the three days I'll have a car so the real out of pocket is the tickets, one day of car rental and whatever I spend.. so my point of view is 2K saved, probably about 500 burned and 150K miles which still leaves me with a $1500 gain which in theory could be applied to travel next year anyway..
its really an individual decision for each person. I would surmise that someone could have one heckuva trip if they could travel anytime anywhere with 150k miles but then again, I will guess that I'll have just as much fun on this trip as anyone would have on any other exotic 150K mile trip as well
fight on... beat the lions
