I’ll cross AAdvantage 2MM next week. Probably half the miles are BIS. Thousands of miles through the Kellogg cereal promotion years back (my family thought I was crazy with several years supply stashed in the garage). 110,000 IDine miles on my daughter’s wedding reception by convincing the restaurant to let us begin paying in advance (splitting these miles with my wife) $1,200 a month. A lot of credit card miles, especially once I attained lifetime gold and the yearly earning restrictions were removed. I have opportunities to make large purchases on behalf of my clients $25,000 to $50,000 at a pop, and then get reimbursed. 6 new credit card sign-up bonuses. A lot of hotel program miles.

I use my miles for One World business class and partner business class awards; New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, Tahiti, Easter Island, Patagonia(2), Peru, Costa Rica(8), Ireland, UK, Spain(6), Paris, Rome, Morocco. Que divertido!
