I am the president of the Pudding Guy Fan Club. Completely in awe of what he was able to accomplish. (And this coming from someone who figured out how to get 3000 Continental miles per dollar - see thread in Buzz if interested) Has anyone ever come close to getting the sheer amount of miles, in that short a period of time, and with the (relatively, in relation to the number of miles earned) small amount of work required to get them!?

I've been an AAdvantage member for over a decade now. Still a year+ away from a million miles. And that million miles is going to come from lots of cross-country flights and thousands of Citibank credit cards charges.

Pudding Guy's (David's) "facts:"

1,215,000 million miles earned...in a few weeks. Cost, roughly $2,325. The pudding was donated to food banks. And of course, he became an "AA Lifetime Gold" frequent flyer in the process. (And all the inevitable media attention - not too envious of that though)

Simply amazing. And never close to duplicated!
