It doesn't even take that much.

Still, I've seen various accounts with more than 300,000 SPG points almost get hit by expiration -- if it weren't for (sometimes rather creative) intervention, they'd go up in smoke. Losing that many points or even less than 10% of that amount can be a rather dramatic surprise for some.
