[QUOTE=Mauibaby2008;20117203]I think on average about 15,000 to 20,000 miles total across my United, AA & BA accounts without flying and without credit cards[/QUOTE]
you do mean without CC sign up bonuses, not CC spending, correct?
this thread could get interesting.

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.

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