I'm a bit of a hoarder and collecting miles / points is my hobby.

I have:

AS 98k
AA 736k
CO 90k
DL 50k
NW 50k
UA 52k
US 150k
... total airline miles 1,148,943

HH 404k
Hyatt 2k
PC 437k
MR 95k
SPG 53k
... total hotel points 883,317

I also have 1k Hertz points and 4k Amtrak points.

I count my point almost daily but it's easy because I keep the log in Excel. With DL, NW & UA I had to do all sorts of little things to get up to the 50k mark since I don't actively fly them. I'm not saving for a particular award but I like to plan big trips. This last summer I spent more than 1 million miles and points for a month in Australia. The trip was fantastic and a big chunk of the miles I have now will surely be used to make a similar trip.

I also collect licencse plates and currency. I've had a few other FTers help me out with the license plates.
