I'm not *quite* that bad, but I think my last Skymiles award was in 2006 or so.
My issue is that I hold no Skymiles status and don't even fly them enough to bother trying to figure out if there's somewhere within the alliance to get a status match. I fly DL or AF once or twice a year for work and credit the miles into a DL account. So I'm slowly accumulating...but my lack of status means that any kind of leisure-travel redemption probably needs to be in J/F.
So I'm hoping that the one-way awards in 2015 will maybe unlock a use for DL miles, preferably on a partner airline somewhere. I have about 40k now...figure that'll be good for a one-way J award somewhere. If I'm lucky, of course.
