'Some' leisure travellers manage to burn them very effectively
We try to keep around 200k in the HHA, which with our usual 'earn/burn' pattern seems to be a good on-going balance for the 2 of us. Two TATL UuA to CW from W, a big dip using a 241 for F to the Caribbean, and of course bunging all possible spend on the BA Amex PP card.
