This can't be easy to amass as we all like to spend them!
For those with big totals - what has been your secret to gaining so many, what has worked in reality for you?
Not anymore

down to my last 260,000 from over 900,000
If you travel a lot on business it's pretty easy, especially in First and Club. I have several friends who's company's still send then Club (and even First) and they have significant balances each year.
I pay for my own flights (self employed) so travel WT+/WT and use other methods to top up: BA Amex, Amex rewards, Tesco, bonuses, hotel, car hire etc. They pay for the annual holiday
