Excluding Sign-Up bonuses, on an average how much does you point balance (across all points programs) grow by?

I think on average about 15,000 to 20,000 miles total across my United, AA & BA accounts without flying and without credit cards

27k from manufactured spend, plus 1-5k in real spend + awards activity (flights and stays). No business travel.

you do mean without CC sign up bonuses, not CC spending, correct?

this thread could get interesting.:D

Between 25K - 30K on manufactured spend...Right now my activities are on hold due to stupid charge back situation. Will start VRs soon.. never needed them ;)

I'm about 8-10K in spend and about 5 K in various incentives (portal shopping, play a quiz, retention or spend bonuses, etc). So about 12-15 K points a month, roughly.
No business travel, no ticket purchasing (award travel only). No Bluebirds or other manufactured spend, but I'm eyeing those options.

18.5k from Bank Direct plus another 8-10k from spending. 5X for Freedom gas purchases; 5X for Citi Forward food and grocery purchases; plus a couple of thousand meeting spending on Skymiles, Starwood, and Mileage Plus.

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.

Figure I should add mine too... 15K - 17K from regular spend. No business spend. No travel.

brooklynmatt Jan 24, 2013 5:49 pm

Are you maxing out the IB at OD for 25k UR a month or what?

Also, I'm super jealous of those of you with these huge personal spends - I wish I could afford that! Maybe someday.

About 70k chase points a month from business related charges .

noelr Jan 24, 2013 5:51 pm

I'm just getting in to manufactured spend, but I'm already up to around 25k UR each month plus 1-2k in actual spend. Don't know what took me so long..
