On top of that, my frequent-programs with hotels, airlines, and rental cars end up paying for even more of these "bonus" trips...
I get that too. I'm leaving in the am for Dallas, TX on the company nickel but I still get the points, et al. I'm using another trip at the end of next month, our national convention in Las Vegas, to attend the Front Sight Shooting Academy. It just happens that their two day defensive pistol course is the weekend after our convention. So I'm using points to stay for two nights at the Hyatt and two nights at the Hilton, not to mention the company pays for me to fly out here, saving my FF miles for something else.

It's good to be me...

But Pete, in all honestly, it really helps my ego to think of you as some spoiled rich kid who grabs up all the good Luger deals. I hate to think of you as a regular old Joe, like myself. Because if that's true you may even work harder than me... I'm not sure I could handle that....
