Well, I am not in the same league as hfly, but yes I am a hoarder. Always saving the miles and points for a vacation with the family that I never quite seem to find the time to take. We've talked about grand plans for years, but the last time I took a whole week off was 2002!

I've redeemed less than 10% of my miles from any program with the major exception of Alaska where I continually use the miles to bring my wife and daughter with me on business trips. I've never used hotel points in HH or MR. I hate to use the miles for myself since that means I am not earning EQM or nights/stays for elite status. A sickness I know, but at least I am a sicko with status!

Sitting on:

UA 770,000+
AS 148,000+
AA 88,000+
HH 260,000+
MR 220,000+
Many other programs 0-30K
