I couldn't get my friends/family into it, until I showed them how they could fly two people to Hawaii (summer) and New York for $20 (via AA 75K). I was so proud when I found out they had also taken up the Capital One offer without me even directly telling them about it. They hadn't touched frequent flyer miles before, and a few months later four free flights and $1700 in travel spending cash, more if they stay at an NYC Hyatt.

Sad, but true.
