I could easily spend 4M points a year if my wife and I didn't go for SE. That's what we've been doing before discovering FT. So this is probably going to be what we want to do in the last few years before retirement. Forget getting status, just burn the points!

They didn't love us, until they've started this 7-year expiration rule!
