We've all heard of Pudding Guy .... Recently he posted his recent activity - about 1.4 million miles worth.
My question is, if he's getting about a million miles a year (as he has stated), what could he possibly be doing for this?</font>
Maybe I'm missing somthing, but I cannot find where Pudding Guy said he is earning a million miles a year. I followed your link and he only said he burned (spent) 1.4 million miles last year. That isn't how many he earned. Did he say he earns a million a year somewhere else?

I've occasionally had difficulty using my miles, but I've burned over 1.4M miles in the past 12 months alone:

I don't how one could easily get a million miles this year, but late 2001 and early Jan 2002 you could have gotten a million Kelloggs AA miles into your account for $14K or so off eBay. In 2002 one could have gotten a million Qantas or Qualiflyer miles for $10K through the Insideflyer/Starwood promo. In 2003, one could have gotten 1 million CO miles for $20K through the Inside Flyer promo. (Not really a good deal!) A million BA miles have also been available during summers for around $18K. Besides costly methods like this - some people could spend a million $/year on miles earning CC.
I can see a person getting 100K some years from CC sign up bonuses if they play the games right and have an income to support this many CCs.
And maybe another 25K a year or so from phone bonuses.
I wonder if there might be a better way to get 1 million miles this year I don't know about?
