    I used to save them, seldom using them. A couple years ago, I had over $1,200 combined. Ended up buying a GPS, a tv, and 3 bluetooths for Christmas presents. Now I work for a company that only fuels at Pilot/J and I seldom accumulate more than $20 before spending them. Someone mentioned earlier the Tornados. Yep I'm guilty. The southwest chicken Tornados are like dope.

    Give out a card with no points on it, they won't know until you're gone

    We are waiting to see what's available at Christmas!

    Use the unlimited showers and drinks constantly at Love's.

    One of the things I miss about the highway is the reward points.

    And the tax claims for meals.

    I used mine to buy some Twizzlers and a banana the other day. Seemed a worthwhile investment.

    You got that half a shower because you put less than 50 gals in if you do that again with in 10 days you'll get the other half.

    sadly we now have at my place, on site fueling. any points i had from the T/A will not be accumulating. in fact, i lost them several months ago, i was told they expire after x amount of time?
    it doesn't bother me, i have right now all that i could need or want, for the job at least. home daily so no need for a shower ticket either.

    but when i ran the road? meals, of course and when needed a cb radio. not much else. unless i ripped my jeans and needed a new pair ASAP! or gloves.

    Yes, but you have to be extra careful when you 'swipe' or you could loose a ring or a watch in the process. Or a finger.

    I lived on Loves reward program and had over 10,000 pts on my card at any time and bought satellite radio, CBs, antennas, expensive gloves and all the food and drinks I consumed on the road, I never put out a penny. I was adding over 600pts a day.
