I think we just hit rock bottom.
But as others said, read, research, and read again before doing anything. I've asked very few questions compared to the hours of reading I have done. Because of that research, starting from 0 FF miles, by the time my first "churn" is done, I'll have 330,000 miles by June, on my shoestring budget, without using BB or any "manufactured spending."
Edit: Just because I know someone will say something. 0 miles/points in the UA, AA, Hyatt and Hilton accounts that I'll be getting them in from CC Churning. I usually fly WN, and JetBlue, so I haven't counted them for those for this post.
