So how would you have gone about searching for what I was looking for before
SanDiego1K came up with the link? "Hotel" wasn't going to be very helpful, nor was "points," and the engine rejected my try with "hotel points," which probably would have produced what I was after if it had used the phrase.
I previously thought the problem with searching was me, and I for the most part gave up on trying. But now I think the search function on this otherwise so very impressive website is must less than adequate.
