Nailed it. The only places I use cash are where they don't take credit cards. Next year, the wife and I are taking another real, need-a-passport sort of vacation and we'll likely use our miles. My business travel doesn't hurt for piling up miles, either.
We have debit cards but they are only used when we travel internationally because it's an easy way to withdraw foreign currency without getting fee-raped.
