To be more precise, 400K points.
While one earns 10 points per dollar spent at most Marriotts (5 at Residence Inns, etc.), one only earns one point per dollar of general spend on the credit card.
I am mostly a credit-card guest,

so my goal was much closer to $400K than $40K, but your point in that regard is well-taken.
As for potential new goals, I don't strive for impossibility.
