denik, welcome to FlyerTalk. In addition to participating in this thread, you may wish to read some of the posts in the major airline forums of FlyerTalk. Many of the regular posters in these airline-specific forums are at 100K/yr. or more and their FlyerTalk profiles indicate that (i.e. on AA = EXP; on DL = PM; on UA = 1K.) To be sure, these levels can be reached on less than 100K actual flight miles but many of those at these levels put in that amount of flying or more and there are those FTers who qualify for top tier at more than one carrier.
