Prior to joining FT i didn't even know what Hhonors was.
After spending some serious time reading old threads and checking in every day for updates we managed to get 200k reasonably quick with HH stays (ie 5stays for 50k promo) while son at zoo camp at Toronto zoo etc.
Now all 4 anvils have ff accounts set up across airlines, hotels etc and separate logins at yodlee to manage each.
My objective for junior anvils is to accumulate enought ff points for all of us to have rendezvous in exotic locales when they go off to university in many years.
But i digress.
6915 points, many stays booked now that summer approaches
God bless flyertalk (and brookstone)
cheers,
my wife understands my obsession and goes along with it("okay hun, so we're gonna change hotels tomorrow just for fun!) and her family thinks I'm insane for obsession to points and miles. (The thanks I get for getting them to HH gold!!!)

About 250K... I just spent 200K in Edinburgh and Prague. I think my wife has another 200K.
Between airlines, Amex points, etc, my wife and I have a couple of million - and we aggressively spend them too.

Around 550k and eligible for a paid sabbatical thru work (8 weeks paid time off in addition to vacation).
I'm hoping that 550k will get me thru my extended vacation since I plan on traveling to various countries for 4-6 weeks of it.

Only a humble 161,000 (fair considering i only travel within Australia, but helped along by 6 for 60K bonus earlier this year and Points+Points earning).
One of these days I'll remember to use some...

134K -- wow - I too am humbled by the big numbers....and I'll probably burn most of this off by the end of summer....
With the latest point restructuring program -- i'ts diluted some of the value for future redemption - I was hoping to use that Scandic hotel a couple of more times - what a bargain at 10K -- esp. the one in Frankfurt....
