Seems not much difference. Younger generation says they want adventure vacations and older generation say relaxing vacation yet they both want to go to the beach.

I was intrigued by the last paragrah that mentioned not many younger people are using rewards.  Doesn't seem that way to me as I read various blogs and social medai accounts...but hey it could just be a smail slice of people the article is focused on.

I can only speak for the small liberal arts bubble that I've spent the last 4 years inside of where I can pretty comfortably say that definitely sounds like the college students I know. Most either don't have a credit card, or simply carry a single no frills vanilla Visa card.

It blows my mind why so many people think sitting on a beach all day is relaxing and/or fun. Two hours is long enough to see a beach, perhaps a bit longer if it's Whitehaven or a similar beach where you have to boat and hike to reach it.

Aside from that, it got me at least partly right. I'm a GenX, and I'd much rather explore new places, try new things, and go on new adventures than deal with friends or family on a vacation. Trips to see friends or family aren't vacations.

I read the points usage the other way around: 54% use points more than once a year, which actually seems very high to me. That 54% is either earning a million+ points a year or they're using them in a manner to save $20 here or $50 there. What would have been more relevant than just if points are used would be how those points are used. Does someone doing a cash+points flight upgrade or a cash+points hotel room count in their data, or was it just accounting for someone who made a flight/hotel reservation entirely with points?
