I second that. My wife and I both made CK this year. While I do buy tickets for family members, my wife does not. We are both Aairpass holders and combined we probably spend 75-100K a year with AA.
Edited to add the math for people who can't divide by two: Spend of 75-100K per year for a couple works out to $37K to $50K per year per person.
