Funny. Then I would probably be lying to you if I said that I have close to two million miles and points in my account right now (granted that's together with wife, but that's also after having done lots and lots of award flying and staying).
Only I'm not, and I could happily prove it with my Award Wallet account--that's if I had to prove anything to anybody. I don't fly on business, I rarely use any sort of shopping portals to accumulate miles, and believe it or not, I never did the Mint. I know it almost sounds like blasphemy, but I thought it would've been too much effort.
The only thing I do is churning credit cards. Start now and you'll get there in a year if you're aggressive enough, or a year and a half if you're mellow
