Earn and Burn Year in review

Happy new year guys!

I thought it would be interesting to share my earn/burn for 2011 now that the year is coming to a close. I'd be curious what you're earn/burn was for 2011, please share in a similar format.

Earn:
BA 100k
AA Biz 75K
Sapphire 50K
Ink bold 50K
Continental 40k
SPG 30k
Marriott 70K
--------------
Total earned in 2011: 315K Airline. 100k hotel

Burn:
Travel in 2011:
US-Asia in F on CX - 135k AA miles
US-Australia in Y on UA - 80k UA miles
US-SA in Y on LA - 40k BA miles

Travel in 2012:
US-Asia in F on CX - 67.5k AA miles + 50K BA miles
US-SA in Y on LA - 40K BA miles
---------------------------------------
Total Burned in 2011: 412.5K miles

Now I just need to sustain this rate of burn after having picked the low hanging fruit. With most of the cards being one time only, do you think that your rate of burn can be sustained with credit card sign ups in 2012?
