Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. Now you don't specify how many airlines, but "dozens" implies at least three dozen (otherwise you would presumably have said "about a couple of dozen", or some other such formulation, if the quantity was less). Now, of course, elite status requirements vary from airline to airline, but I think the lowest requirement I have seen is 20,000 miles, with most at 25,000 or more. But let's be generous and assume all 36 (or more) airlines require just 20,000 miles, meaning you fly at least 720,000 miles a year - almost 2,000 miles every single day!

KUDOS!!

Or.... Were you just speaking BS??
