I had a whole convention in Phoenix that was "pointless"

Flew there on Southwest- it was cheapest and was nonstop. I don't fly them enough to get anything out of Rapid Rewards.

Stayed at the Pointe on South Mountain- that's where the meeting was held and if I'd found a Hilton, Marriott, etc. in the area I would have spent too much time driving back and forth.

Charged it all, per company requirements, on the company MasterCard. No benefits there.

Usually I can get some points from some affinity program, but that one was a perfect zero.
