That said, I never bought 10k, and don't know if I would, I was always under 4,000, and only bought once. Depends on how much you travel internationally and will be able to get value for the GPU's.
I'm totally with you on the spend though. If you take out those who mainly fly transcons, I don't see who else would have a problem making the spend, given how fares have been priced the last couple years.
I am at 80k right now. Today's check on my itinerary for tomorrow yields an offer of 2.3/15 cents per mile for 12000 miles. I'm not biting as at this point no idea where I will finish up. I just check in case see a great offer.
