I have a picture (can't upload it here because it's not on the web anywhere) showing the 61 credit cards I signed up for between myself and my wife during that 6 months.
Citi caught on after card #5 and killed all my accounts. Will be a while before I can get back to them, if ever (which would be a shame because I want their AA Exec and Hilton Surpass card).
Since then I've been more gradual, hence only 300k marriott points in 12 months...
Certainly was a ton of honest to goodness fun figuring out how to get all the points before the cutoff. Just wish I would have known about it a year earlier so I'd be LT PLAT vs LT GLD.
