<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Wonder how many Aeroplan members actually have balances over a half million miles, let alone being in a position to consider some of these higher eschelon awards?[/B]</font>
Probably quite a few!
10 individuals at my place of work have over 500K AP miles. The president of my company (who is a basic AP member) has over 1M.
These points were accumulated via business expenses charged to Aerogold Visa cards.
