As a "local" flyer (who is lucky to get a SWA Compnaion Pass each year 
), I have another question: WHY? What is the purpose of holding millions (10, 25 or whatever) of FF miles or points?
I have a few hundred thousand MR and HH points that I plan on using for vacations. I admit to some pain when using them. (Am I getting the best value? What if something else comes up?) But, if I was racking up a million FF miles per year, why sit on them? (Apparently you only need a million or so to get an airplane named after you.

Who's to say that this individual is actually sittin on them. It's possible that this person is using the points but also continues to add points.
