It is official: 1 Million Points.....
In 2007. 1,012,102 to be exact. 107 nights in total for a 9285 p/night avg.
This would not have been possible without the Q4 Triple / Quad / 2K Visa bonanza. Half my points came in this time frame.
Using the point windfall I snagged 12 $250 Hotel Anywhere Cards. My first trip in '08 the first $3000 in Hotel Expenses will be a cash back bonus. Using the Best Buy cards I snagged the Big Screen I never could justify (but will never be home enough to enjoy).
Thank you ICH for making this a very special year. As I say to all of my colleagues: "Look, if you are going to do this type of travel you sure should chase the points!". It can be a lucrative hobby.
Merry Christmas to all those on the board!

This accomplishment seriously gets a standing, slow clap from me. Well done. I wish I had found out about FlyerTalk before May. Maybe I could have finished with more than the 200,000 I got this year. Again, well done.

But, the qoute of the year (which I have repeated to my co-workers) come from the Radioman: "Everytime I order a Diet Coke I enjoy knowing I am making 66 points!".

That's fantastic. I remember the year I did 106 nights by July 1. I still only ended up with 300K that year. I'll have to watch closer.
