Alexbs, yes I guess spending $5M a month WOULD give you millions of points.
Frankly I always wondered when Amex would re-rate the points based on the cruddy dollar. I have about a million points, and moved that sort of amount to Starwoowd previously.
Yes, we have relatively limited use of the points via the Qantas + affiliates etc, but when I can get 11,000 km round Australia J Class trips like this with rather little points, we KILL the USA schemes when you think about it! To do this on UA would need 5 times as many points.
