Me too. I give them to my wife so that she can visit the Grandkids. They live in Bismarck North Dakota.

And you know what? She Never Has a Problem getting a seat to Bismarck! Plenty availability :D

Mrs. MileKing and I flew to Bismarck on coach award seats a few years ago. It was/is one of the few destinations where we could actually use our CO miles.

I am a hoard-ser. Have been hoarding them for a while but now looking at all the depreciation, I am turning into a user now :)

I hoard to a certain point, then splurge on a trip.

Those darn things depreciate, so don't hold on too long. They won't be worth it as much if you hold on too long.

Hoarder - Maybe user soon

I'm saving up for 2 possible premium awards to Europe and 2 transcon awards this year or next. Almost got the Europe awards!

As an AC Aeroplan member I have no choice but to be a hoarder. :(

I am a hoarder. I keep thinking. I will wait until I get 100,000 - then I say I will wait until I get this and I never want to use them. Finally tried to use then several weeks ago and of course there were not seats available.

It's a depreciating asset. User.

Hoarder
 
Have ~400K on NW, fiance/travel-partner has ~600K. We try to use them to UG to biz on long trips but opportunites have diminished.

Also, use them to fly friends and family members when tickets are too expensive.

I go in Spurts
 
I go in spurts. nothing last year. using 200K this year. depends on how poor or rich i'm feeling. Good question
