Harbinger of pain you are! At least unlike most of us, you appoint someone else to bear your pain, and reap the benefits. Speaking of which, what do you do with all the miles anyways? I haven't recalled you talking about a trip since I've been on this thread.
With SM new miles expire when you expire policy, I think they want you to not use them at all so they can write it off their books.
