I've got 350K in the bank ... just used 160K so those don't count.

I've got roughly 140,000 and my husband about 60,000 - added to the running total so far (with some rounding):

3,390,000

Wow!

985,000 on DL, 13K on US, and less on a couple of others

So far, I have the following miles which adds up to 4677317!

84356 (FTer: Imhooked)
121709
112254
190000
232000
223000
1238112
327886
273000
340000
350000
200000
985000 (FTer: dant)
Total=4677317

Okay, I have around 800k in the BA household account. 600k in UA and 840k in AA (thanks to Marriott rewards). Total is 2,240,000.

Which brings the new total to 6,917,317.

Checking the definition of a trillion:

In Britain, France, and Germany, 10^18 or a million cubed.

In the USA and Canada, 10^12.

So I assume that it is 3.5 *10^12?

Excellent, at this point we have 1.97637628571428571428571428571e-6% of the miles accounted for. Well on our way. Keep it up.

bagold, fascinating! I just looked it up, and was surprised to see that you are correct in that the words that we (U.S.) accept for 10E9 and 10E12 are not universal in the West. (Actually, according the Webster's New World Dictionary, Collegiate Ed. 1966, the split comes between U.S and France on one side, and Great Britain and Germany on the other). So, by definition:

U.S/France: billion = thousand million = 10E9; trillion = thousand billion = 10E12
GB/Germany: billion = million million = 10E12; trillion = million billion = 10E18

A billion here and a trillion there and pretty soon we're talking about real miles http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Add 329796 miles from my parents and girlfriend on UA, SR and RG. New total is 7,247,113.

I have a total of 335,511. They are kind of spread out but mostly on AA and BA.

The new total is 7,582,624.

I have 623,769, my wife has 145,950

8,352,343

2,189,290! With 1.26 million in AA, 733,000 in AC, and the rest in UA and BA.

That makes the total (drumroll, please):10,541,633!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Add my measly 350,000 to the tally.

(Passing the baton ... )

A bit over 800,000.

11,691,633


VanMan how did you accumulate 1.26(+) with AA? Any tricks you'd like to share http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

GreyOwl, not too many tricks, mostly flying coach in NA, with a fair bit of trans-pacific and trans-atlantic travel in J. Member since '87, and not too many redemptions. One recent trick has been talked about elsewhere - redeeming upgrades for miles at 2500 mile per upgrade. That netted me 207,500 miles in March!
