Hmm, maybe I should starting thinking of selling the points...

... then maybe earning 1M a year is not a wise decision to start with if you have no ability to spend them. Too much of a good thing you know... don't blame AE for your desire for AE points via cards.

I add 750K per year and I spend around that same amount on various items including trips... AE loves ppl like you --- never spending your points
