    When I quit OTR I had thousands of points. Never got anything other than showers thinking I was going to be a points millionaire and buy me something nice, big and expensive !

    Anybody wants to buy my points ?:)

    I've been saving mine up since I started driving but there's really no point to stockpile them so much. You can't even buy tobacco products with them. I just checked my Pilot points. What exactly am I supposed to do with 1/2 of a shower point?
     
    TequilaSunrise Thanks this.

    I think I'm going to stock up those cards and when someone asks for $$ I'll hand them a card that hasn't been activated, tell them it has $30/whatever worth of points on it and be on my way.

    Just got a new dash cam last Friday. I just pick things up for the truck as needed.

    If you are a company driver and want to convert your points to cash, use them to pay for your scale tickets, then send them in for reimbursement from your company.

    New headset, inverter, food. Ice cream snickers bars. And more food.

    I'll save up points to buy something i dont wanna actually spend cash on. But like the other driver said. Using points on big item or small item. Its all the same in the end. But i never use points on showers. Pilot and loves give showers away at 50+ gallons
