I have never had to worry about my account going dormant ... Haha !!!! The last time I cashed in my points I bought a gas BBQ for hubby ... I got it at the end of the season when they went on sale and never had to pay one cent for it (350,00 points) now I'm saving up for a new LCD flat screen. I don't like using my points for food I want "something" that I can keep.
