I used to gift them a lot, fly friends and family out to visit me when I lived in Arizona or I used them for upgrades and lounge access. Now I'm committed to using them on trips I can't pay for with cash. Either premium cabin redemptions overseas (Most recently: Budapest, before that: Prague, Vienna and Paris) or for last minute trips (like seeing game 1 of the 2010 World Series).
