If one wants to spend excess thousands of dollars every time there is a points/miles sale, that is their prerogative.

Me, I like to finance my personal global travels from both my work travel/spend as well as any personal spend I have. And that means earning points/miles in the natural sense, not spending thousands of miles just to buy them.
