Sorry about that - I currently normalize the SWA count at 1,200:1 in light of the 1,200 dollars required in credit card spend per credit. It helps me during sorting when I look over the portfolio. I do a similiar normalization with Air Tran. There are also another dozen ff accounts I am currently not concentrating on and an AMEX that is negative due to an advance. Annual accumulation is over a million (excluding AirTran and SWA).
What in the world does that mean??? 
Currently (through the end of February) in your Rapid Rewards account you can have a mix of currencies: awards of two different types, one worth twice than the other (of which you can have bunch, but I doubt 10,200!); credits (of which you can't have more than 15.5, because at 16.0 they convert automatically to awards), and possibly one Companion Pass.
On March 1, RR 2.0 will launch, and use points. But you cannot convert anything you have now to points. Thus no matter you have now, you have 0.0 points at 12:01 am on RR 2.0, with the possible exception of if you had "leftover" dollars at Rapid Rewards Dining, since they'll convert to points (but I doubt that fast!). You'll be able to convert points to credits (to "top off" to an award) at 1200 points per credit, but not vice versa.
So did you mean you have the number of credits that you could convert 10,200 points to (ie 8.5 credits)? Even if so, because you can't convert your existing credits rto points, I don't think it's valid to call 8.5 existing credits 10,200 points.

Let me explain a little
Worldtraveller2, can I ask how you accumulated that many miles since October 2010. I just starting last year too. Any help would be appreciate. Here are my status. Seem small to yours
AA=171,814
CO=26,859
DL=29,412
UA=76,925
I started at the beginning of 2010. Would love to know your secrets.
AA=171,814
CO=26,859

UA=76,925
I started at the beginning of 2010. Would love to know your secrets.
Then I did the Citi 75,000 personal and business credit card offer, plus the personal and business checking AA offers for 20,000 each, plus whatever else was in that account (plus I do the tiny AA Bose and best western sign up offers, sign ups, registering in the spanish website, etc)
I also did the Chase BA 100,000 offer, plus I have gotten two additional offers for spends (5000 more for $750 spend Dec, Jan and Feb and 5000 for $3000 spend for Sep, Oct and Nov)
I am a SPG owner, so those new points I got at the beginning of the year, and this is my low year (as I own 2 properties with them, a one bedroom lock off and a two bedroom, so every other year I get tons of miles from them, but with fees)
As far as Delta goes, I did that suntrust Bank Deal (both personal and business) plus I found out I had 69,000 Delta miles that expired that I paid $100 bucks for.
Just used my USA miles for 2 tickets to Roma, Italia - returned home last Sunday!
I have also been rotating the Dining program and started with my friend, the us mint!
So I have just been working the deals!
