If you travel a lot, it's probably easy to justify. Our travel of the type that we can use for credits is only intermittent. Most of our travel is with a travel trailer in government-owned parks. We don't benefit from the Premium Rewards card with that.
Maybe you misunderstood me. The redemptions are not limited to a narrow type of charges like the PR's travel credit. You can redeem the points of the Travel Rewards card against a wide range of travel and also dining charges. For example, in your case campgrounds or RV/trailer rental might be eligible. Or restaurants and takeout food if you don't travel at all. You won't have trouble finding qualifying charges:
"A travel credit is applied as a statement credit to your account to offset travel and dining purchases from qualifying merchants in these travel or dining related categories: airlines, hotels, motels, timeshares, trailer parks, motor home and recreational vehicle rentals, campgrounds, car rental agencies, truck and trailer rental, cruise lines, travel agencies, tour operators and real estate agents, operators of passenger trains, buses, taxis, limousines, ferries, boat rentals, parking lots and garages, tolls and bridge fees, tourist attractions and exhibits like art galleries, amusement parks, carnivals, circuses, aquariums, zoos, eating places and restaurant, drinking places, bars, taverns, cocktail lounges, nightclubs, discotheques and fast food restaurants."
