i am with the majority here, but didn't realize until last month....
i've been collecting from a lot of bustrav the last couple of years and have just started to begin redeeming when my fiance questioned "why would you rather spend $120/night @ marriott than use a few thousand of your points?"
it was still hard to do this, even though i saved about $500 and hardly dented my marriott rewards balance.
a feel like pavlov's dog... when the ff miles ring, i am salivating
