This seems like a "mine is bigger than yours" thread. What is the purpose?

amc1

DL = 145K
HH = 308K
PC = 36K

About to get a ton of accor points and DL miles... Very happy about DL's decision to stop mileage expiration even though I'm planning on using them later this year

OK, I've worked (and spent) long and hard for these, so I'll join in. All approximate as I am too lazy to get the exact numbers...

Seems a lot but Mrs FTF and I do one loonnnggg trip per year in biz class and that can eat up 400K-500K at a clip (may need 700K for DL Jo'burg nonstop in a couple of years), plus some family visits and what have you.

CO: 1.459K
DL: 1.283K
AA: 629K (spent 200K recently)
UA: 180K (spent 400K last year)
F9: 32K -- just want one flight out of these guys!
US: 14K

Hilton: 335K
SPG: 123K

Wow. I just noticed I beat Mr. P to the punch when it comes to an opportunity to pat yourself on the back and blow your own horn at the same time. Losing his edge? Say it aint' so!

I would never accumulate the kind of miles I'm seeing in this thread, too many chances the reward programs could change in a negative way. Wish I had participated in the bank funding and 100k citi offers. All my miles have been from coins and cc signups. Heres to a great 2011! FT

Because the OP didn't understand other FTers when starting this thread. The OP titlted the thread simply "how many miles are in your mileage account", thinking that most people had just enough for one or two trips, but of course tons of FTers accumulate a lot more they can use right now, and they answered the question as asked in the title (not as asked in the first post), and so it took of as simply a dump of FTer's giant mileage accounts.

The OP didn't realize that tons of people don't know yet what they're going to use their miles for, and didn't think that people collected miles first and would think of the uses later. (But that's the nature of most of the replies the OP got.)

I'll avoid "mine is bigger than yours" by explaining not how much I have, but that I simply (a) try to earn miles whenever I can (credit card signups, credit card usage, dining programs, hotel stays, rental cards, etc, etc), (b) read FT a lot (many forums), to find all the bonuses I can use in various programs I participate in, and (c) because different airlines have awards to different places, and different hotel programs have hotels that can be used for rewards in different places, and because not all airlines/hotels have the best promos at any one time, I "follow the promos" between airlines/hotels and thus earn much faster total than someone only focusing on one airline and one hotel could.

Meanwhile, I never know when I'll need miles. I needed to do a transcon trip on a weekend that turned out to be a spring break weekend (I was going for an event totally unrelated to spring break) and so fares were sky-high many months out, so I just used miles for that trip. But had fares not been sky-high (for example, had that event been scheduled a couple weekends earlier or a couple weekends later), I would have bought the tickets and earned mles.

So since I can save more than I need, I want to save more than I need, so I'll be preprared for any trip I might want to take, anywhere, even if that that trip is prohibitevely expensive. And so I'll be prepared to use "any time" (double) miles, if that's what it takes, even though I haven't had to use that yet.

Finding a seat (even when you have the miles) can be hard work enough, so I don't want to have to worry about whether I have enough miles, it's enough to worry about whether I can use the miles I have. (And, btw, it's easier to get a trip with miles if you have enough miles for the trip in multiple airline programs, as to different destinations different mileage programs may have easier award ticketing for a given trip date. It's also easier to get a trip with miles if you have some extra miles so for example you can use a routing which is more miles than the most direct routining on which awards may not be available.)
