Pointless but feeling empty
I just logged into my OP account to be pimp smacked with the reality that I only have 235 miles remaining in my account. In the past 2 years I've taken 5 flights and booked 5 nights in hotels using my OP miles. The hotels were a true steal or I wouldn't have used them for usually they're a rip off.

Out of curiosity - which hotels, and what were the point redemptions?

Sadly I live a no credit life. Had Identity theft twice and got into trouble myself with debt in college so Now I live an all debit card life. It is the CO Chase debit but that doesn't do much for me these days.
The hotel was the Park Hyatt Toronto where I got a great room for 3 night with breakfast and parking for under 26000 when the lowest I could find for their lowest category of rooms was 380 a night and for the category I ended up with was 560 a night.
