It is technically not possible for an employer to "take" your miles. It is possible for an employer to know how much you travel for work, figure how many miles you will have earned for that travel, know how many miles are required for an award ticket and require you to get an award for your or a colleague's business travel after you've traveled enough for work to have earned that many.

Possible, yes. A good idea? That's what most of this thread is about.
