On the National Post story thread a suggestion was made that using points to go on vacation was "a waste of points". (Ahh to live in YYZ with some competion and lots of non-stop destination choice I thought...)
But it got me thinking.This morning's Kate MacNamara article proclaims this to be the "good news".

I've never used a Short-Haul Reward as I consider that a waste of points. I imagine it's a pretty good benefit for a basic Aeroplan member who never achieves P, E or SE.

What about others on this Board?
