I booked domestic award tickets for three of us at 9k each. My DM baggage allowance applied to them as well and we checked eight bags! A solo flyer without status (or AMEX) would have charged $1210 for the bags alone. That was the best 27k I ever spent!

Family + extended family just went to JNU for a week (wife, also DM, was born there)
9 of us traveling - linked PNRs - 27x 70lb bags allowed.
We only traveled with about 18 bags, but I was so tempted to buy 9 more $4 bags of gravel, put them in pelican cases just because we could
But still have never seen the case of a non status medallion member like my daughter getting 7 bags for no particular reason.
