You need a Sapphire or Ink Preferred to get good value. Transferring to Hyatt or to an airline for business/first class flights could make 10k points worth anywhere from $200 to $500+.

With just a Freedom, your only option is a $100 statement credit or $100 gift card (maybe slightly more if they're running a promo for certain stores).

Save the points and open a premium card to unlock transfer partners.

Also, when in your professional opinion is bankruptcy the right option?

Husband is a multi sport coach and gone a lot in season, I work in corp banking.

Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.
