Started saving miles in about 2000 for a honey moon, changed my mind and burned them all in about 2005, been building them up again now. Mindful of airlines going bust and devaluation, so have been topping off accounts with enough miles for a decent trip in C, i.e AKL-LHR etc, and then moving on to a new FF plan to hedge my bets. Do still use some for awards, but trying to get enough to 2 decent C or F tickets again.
