Yes, I saw it on NBC this morning. Peter Greenberg - NBC Travel guru contacted American Express to see who had more miles than him. Peter has about 5 million miles.

The person with the highest was Steve Rothstein with 25 million miles.</font>
Ah, so it's only the highest that AmEx knew about.

How would AmEx know? I mean, what if the person who had more miles had them spread over a number of airlines, and didn't use any "mile manager" program that AmEx has access to?

Does AmEx (which I am not a member of) know exactly how many miles I have in all of my programs? (If they do, that sounds a lot scarier than anything else about this TV piece, IMHO!)
