The best reason for holding on to them, if this applies to you, is that a lot of the airline rewards can only be redeemed at intervals, maybe every 90 days for example. (Not everyone has the same rules, I don't think, depends on when and how they were invited.) The redemption interval isn't dependent upon the amount redeemed.
But for example I can usually get to $100 in 3-4 months, so I hold on until I get there, since if I cash in at $25 I can't redeem again for 3 months.
