Well, on the most used airline, 1,600,000 miles collected. 459,000 available. 75% happily given to others.

My quest this year is more related to actual miles and crossing into 1K territory for the first time.

I would be part of the sicko group that prefers paying for the ticket and collecting miles. One that cannot sleep unless registered at a brand hotel giving back 9% of what is being spent.

Imagine spending a year locked behind bars. Or a year at a desk job, forbidden to travel.
