spend points

a little off topic, but since all links are currently dead, this will give you something to think about. AA just announced that it is joining other airlines in offering rental cars and hotel rooms for points or points/cash....you can go to thier site and use links of aadvantage program>use miles>other ways to use miles
Just booked a room in Hawaii for a couple of nights and a rental car for a week. Their miles costs are a lot less than United wants for the same room or car. maybe because its new? I am saving 125k for a F ticket to Europe but was looking for a way to spend the other 28k I earned from the credit card deals....this seems like an option...yes i know its not optimal use of miles, but it puts extra cash in my pocket while i vacation in Hawaii so I can live with it.

they offered a better rate on a spg hotel than *wood points would have got me.
