Reformed hoarder, now a determined user

Have about 900,000 miles on CO. I like to use for international vacation trips but CO charges cash for upgrading, and often for intrenational trips cannot get a confirmed business class until 30 days before departure. I end up hoarding becaue the miles are difficult to efficiently use.

hoarder but not by choice
 

Generally a hoarder just due to no time to be a user....use miles for weekend trips if able to stay in Europe over weekends. Use hotel points for the parents when I get the chance. Have done the same thing for friends on occasion.

I think CO availability is a scandal and a class action suit in waiting. However, partner availability is better with proper planning. Have you considered F or J awards on Qantas, which are really great uses for your miles?

Heh....I'm a hoarder and a user. I've unwisely burned too many AS miles for domestic awards :eek: but I hoard my HH points.

I'm a gifter. If I fly with someone else (like my GF), I prefer to rack up the miles while she flies on the free ticket.

Sorry only hoarders or users belong in his thread :D

I'm both
 

I'm a hoarder until I get enough miles to go someplace warm in the cold winter then I burn as fast as I can.

I'm a hoarder, want to be a user, but i always find cheap flights that make it not worth while

Time is my enemy.....would love to use more of my miles/points (1MM+ banked on both AA and UA, 1.3MM+ HHonors points, and a few hundred K on US, CO, and DL), but can't find the time to do so. In addition, most all of my domestic travel, particularly for family events, is planned very far in advance so I am able to get low fares. Can't see burning miles for a $150 fare.

I'm a reformed hoarder....collect enough for a trip to Europe or Hawaii and BAM...those miles are burned.
