Good deal, glad for you. About 20 years ago, I did a similiar thing. Accumulated piles and piles of points playing poker on the machines in a game room at a truck stop I used regularly. Christmas time I used them to shop in the truck stop for my new girl friend ( now my wife ). Got her a nice poncho, brief case, and something else. All went well until she was riding with me about a month later, and we stopped at that truck stop. As we walked through the gift shop, she commented the poncho on display was just like the one I had given her for Christmas. I agreed, and told her I had gotten it there, using game points. She came un-glued quickly.Really boiled over on me. All I heard that trip was how bad that was for me to do. I did not see anything wrong with it, but she sure did.
Now, after 20 years of a good marriage, she still brings it up from time to time. About a week ago, told her I was going Christmas shopping, she told ne to stay out of the truck stops, with a smile on her face.
Never did see her wear that poncho, the briefcase is still in the closet. We men just think a little differently than women.tucker, bubbagumpshrimp, CargoWahgo and 1 other person Thank this. -
Lol we have a better understanding of the universe milions of light years wide than we do of women's minds.

Although I never have much points on my card, but I drove for years before getting my first reward card, but when I finally did get one, I never thought about using the points, until the girl behind the register asked me if I wanted to use points to pay for a movie I was getting, I asked her how much was on there? she smiled and said you have almost $1200.00, I about passed out, I never knew you could get that much, Now almost every time I get anything out of a T/S, coffee? subway? or what ever, I swipe the card and use the points
