In terms of "getting the most out of your CC - points" - that is extremely subjective. Don't get pressured into thinking you need to spend your miles on an overwater villa in the Maldives. For you, buying your entire family tickets to Los Angeles on Spirit using your UR points may be the most effective usage of points, even if it will make DDFers cringe. Value is personal.

[Thrifty]

Even something that's a great deal still costs money so you'll save even more money by not buying it.

(And even if it's free, it will take up space in your house and you can't charge it rent.)
