In the very first days of Coke Rewards you could get Hilton points, no limit. Scored a bunch, asked friends to save their caps/codes. Limits on rewards/redemptions soon followed.
Me too. I was in college, and I collected the maximum allowed from the Wendy’s on campus (no limit on the promo but AirTran had a cap on the number of points in your account - 128 IIRC, good for 2 round trip tickets). My dad and I went to Chicago to visit my brother. We had to drive 3 hours to MEM for the flight, and then connect in ATL, so it didn’t really save any time over driving, but it was my first ride on a 717.
