First, this is one of the most entertaining topics in a while. Secondly, PuddingGuy is my hero.

MyleGuy, I salute you for speaking your mind. Also, your post raises a question; where would you set the limit?

Miles are like dollars; you can zip through them in a hurry. Let's say PG has a wife and two kids. Let's say they want to fly to Europe on AA in the 1st Class Cabin. If my math is correct he will shed 500,000 miles. If you have a million miles, or a million dollars, would you even want to know what it looked like behind the bulkhead? Naaaaaah!

The lifetime elite status is probably the most beneficial reward for the effort.
