Don't get the big following around travel rewards on credit cards

Hey all,

I've listened to a lot of podcasters and I always hear people hawking the idea of travel hacking/travel rewards on credit cards. I don't get the attraction of points over pure, hard cash back on the cards. All of the credit cards I have are cash back cards, and I can use that money for anything - credit against the statement (I pay for everything with the card and pay it in full each month), get them to send me a check and save it for vacation, whatever. 

What is the value of getting points versus just getting the cash?
