Same here, when I worked/lived in Windor (moved from London) suddenly I'd be flying routes that I used to get the train (i.e. heading north) and booking the train travel I was making through the East Coast website (mostly FGW) got me enough reward points that it gave me free first class trips on East Coast.
When I used to travel between London and Edinburgh a lot (2003) there was a train ticket that included one way first class on GNER and the other direction on the sleeper (it was called Scottish Executive, but is different to the current ticket by the same name I mention earlier), it was great, heading home on the Friday evening, enjoying the on-board restaurant then on the Sunday getting the sleeper which saved spending a night at a hotel or getting up ridiculously early to fly.
