Points, miles, and contacts I have made here, were what enabled us to sustain the relationship to the point where we could get married, and now keep it going. I don't see it as an addiction or a game, to me it's an investment of time, no different than if I had a second job to put food on the table.

I don't busy myself with chits and the like that I can't use. I am signing up for a credit card with a bonus, but only did that after researching that I could actually use the points and miles I'd accumulate for travel we will take.

Perhaps it's a distinction without a difference, but that's the value of FT to me.
