I don't keep track as I figure it'll all come out in the wash at the end. That and it sounds like too much like homework. I don't have the time or to enter it, look up the fare class, or understand the formulas for bonuses etc. Ignorance is bliss.
Some airlines have a Sudoku in their inflight magazine, Alaska flyers solve the "how on earth did they calculate this EQM balance" puzzle.

Can't say that I have discovered any discrepancies, but it would save me some time planning and verifying if AS showed the relevant information.
