I got about 250.000 miles on NWA, about 100.000 on
AA, 100.000 on UA, 150.000 on DL, 40.000 on CI. Thanks!!
I think many of us do mileage runs just to get elite status or go from SE to GE, there are easier ways to get miles (think World Perks University, the mall etc).
We use ours for just upgrades and usually have to do a MR or two each year to make SE --
There's nothing wrong with keeping the amount you have -- they're always good for emergencies -- for example, we've used some of ours to bring family members home for funerals.
