So for $65 my wife and I can do a luxury weekend get-away. Of course, the card also allows me to earn points toward free travel. Right now, we've got over 90,000 points saved up. Four years ago, we got 5 free nights in Boston. Two years ago, we got 4 free nights in San Francisco. This summer, we're planning to do 7 free nights, just not sure where yet.

Disneysteve,
I'm with you on the Marriott card. I used to do a ton of travel with my job, but now with two little ones I've moved onto one that keeps me grounded. Its nice to be a Silver member as they still tend to take care of you when they can (miss my Platinum). I think I'm over 400,000 points even with a weekend getaway here and there. Once the little ones are a little older, can't wait to take advantage of Hawaii
