I've been bumming around the LGA SkyClub for the past hour hoping to spot a KM tag, and all I see are battered DM tags clanking around.
Seriously thinking about attaching an ACTUAL cowbell to my briefcase for my trip back next week...

I get asked about mine all the time.
The other day, in line for immigrations at SYD, a guy asked me about it. He then (haughtily) said the following:
"Well, I always fly on Qantas. Last year I flew over 500,000 miles and spent over $300,000 with them."
Me: "Seems like that would qualify you for a little more than Gold status with them."
The guy turned away and got out of the queue. It was awesome.

The thought of 500,000 miles makes me very, very afraid. That's an average of just under 1400 miles a day, every day for all 365 days of a year, or 33 SYD-LAX roundtrips! Qantas should give him a back brace if anything .
