Back in the "good old days" my father flew Pan-Am to Japan back and forth about twice a month.

In 1989, I used 70K point for 2 x First Class tickets to Hawaii from upstate NY, which included 6 days of rental car and 40% of the hotel (Sheraton Makaha).

Dad, used 300K to buy 30 days first class travel for two, anywhere in the world. He did this TWICE. Not too long after that, Pan Am went away...

In September 1988, I bought a 3 year membership to the Clipper Club. Almost bought the "lifetime". Pan Am closed up shop Dec 1991, just a couple of months after my membership expired...
