The perk is I get a couple relaxing nights away from the wife and kids.

I do not travel as much as I use to, now maybe once every 6 weeks, for anywhere from a night to the full week.
When I was traveling more it got very old, 3-4 weeks in the month, 3-5 days per trip. It was fun to see new cities, and when I was in a new city I made the effort to get out and explore, so that is a perk. Also if your company let's you keep your points, that is a huge perk, I still have close to 500,000 Marriott points, can stay in Europe for three weeks without paying for a hotel. Same with airline points.

@Lackwittyname I'm doing more prep for my trips.. taking some of my own movies, because I am convinced normal tv is slowly killing me via stupidity.
I used to travel a lot for work. I loved it and enjoyed the points/perks. Then I got married and had a kid, being away so much put a strain on everything. It was no longer enjoyable. I do miss the adventure of meeting new people in new places. I still get to use my Hotel points and rental car rewards...
