Other than miles earned on some United promotions in Mileage Plus (just started to build a warchest there in case I need to buy some upgrades in the future), I earn them the old fashioned way, I mostly fly them (250-350K+ air miles per year in all programs plus free tickets from airline frequent flyer promos) and get some from credit card purchases (50-100K per year) and a few from car rentals and other partners (10-15K per year). I really can't be bothered with a few hundred miles here or there from click rewards and the like (but then I used to tell my mother I didn't fly very often and I resisted joining a frequent flyer program for 10 years).

. . . but if we had the Healthy Choice promo here, I am sure I would have ordered several hundred cases of pudding! Mega promos always catch my eye.
