Def. an interesting topic. Curious to see who the true "heavy hitters" are...
My monthly averages are:
20k/month from BankDirect (AA Miles)
15k/month for business related (Ultimate Rewards)
20k/month for personal spend (various)
10k/month manufactured spend (various)
My manufactured spend was crazy high during the Mint Days. And I also get probably 1/3 of my points from sign-up bonuses.

I have 30 AP Accounts.
Come on this is FT, you can't just have a new thread not titled 'getting spending up without the mint' talk about getting spend up without the mint and how you actually do it! Madness!
I get them through a Txf from Virgin. But I can say no more else I will be cast out of the private forums where you have to pay 1M UR points just to be accepted into.

I don't get how people have such high manufactured spend. I am new but I see AP and the GC 5x route. After these I have no idea how you guys are generating so many points.
This is my first month trying to get manufactured spend, but I get about 20-25k through real spend

2012 was a very productive year. Gained over a million miles/points through credit cards signup, manufactured spend and OD GCs..
