Same here, kempis. I have about the same amount as you and my girlfriend had about 3500 in hers. We were planning to save to get enough for a couple of domestic tickets for when we get married next year. In the end we realised that this was probably futile and gave up. She cashed hers in yesterday for a $25 Olive Garden gift voucher.
I'm still debating whether to do the same with mine or hang on just a little longer.
