Honestly, I pretty much feel the same. DH and I both have plat cards and we each got golds when they had 90,000 points plus 20% back on dining and we keep getting offers to add AUs and retention offers, so I've had a stream of points.
For us, we just built a house, so I've been cashing in for lots of Home Depot gift cards so I'm getting a penny per point which I'm ok with. The other thing I've used them for is when they have redemption bonuses on Hilton or Marriott and I've been able to get some good deals on hotels that way. I read this morning that they are having another transfer bonus, so if that's something that would help you, you might want to take a look at that.
