I think i would have a heart attack if i see the 500k miles hell even the 200k miles on my card would kill me
What card(s) do you have/use?

My main sources of miles/points are:
  1. Credit card sign-up bonuses (40K-100K per card)
  2. Travel (platinum status on DL = 100% bonus on flown miles)
  3. Credit card category bonus (Freedom quarterly categories, Ink for office suplies/wireless/internet, Sapphire Pref on dining/travel,etc)
  4. Annual spend thresholds

So, there's no One Card to rule them all. This strategy has me and my wife's various airline/hotel/CC accounts at over 2 million points combined.
