Based on the math above I have five free rentals coming. I have about 6500 points and counting. By the end of the year it should be close to 8000. It seems similar to hotel points. It takes 4-5 stays to earn enough to points to get a free night. (Hilton Properties) my experience with most reward program, is they really reward heavy travelers. For me weekend rentals or two free days in a hotel in useless, I need more time away then that. Good conversation!
