And Tiger Woods concurs.

Count me in the Private Jet class as well. I thing a GS V, or what ever the fully loaded version would suit me fine. Remember, money is no object. :cool:

This is a question I have often thought about. I would be a member of an FFP if only to give the miles away to both charity and to loved ones. That way I could buy myself into heaven.

I have to agree it is a rat race and it would be great to be out of it completely! Having enough money to no longer care about it all would be one way to do this. Now, I am by no means rich but like many in here, I think of myself as currently a rich man in a poor man's body... It will come one day--maybe. (We can only hope, right?) In the meantime, i am always glad to "win one" and win one more each and every time I score any FT deal! Feels good, don't it? ...And maybe THAT is the 'drive' and the 'rush' we would all miss if we were swimming in cash!

Anyway, as if I were going to get out of the game like a rich guy could, I have already begun ramping down from mileage programs in the following way, and with a plan in mind:

1) making all FFPs I use or plan to use be at or near std award levels I can and will use in the next 6-12 months

2) cutting out the stuff I do not use (stray miles, emails from programs I do nothing with anyway, and the llike)

3) joining up on less, but going only for the big kills. I concentrate on ly on 3 airlines now--one of each partnership-- and if I were rich, I would probably still look for deals, but I would not care so much to collect these little buggers as much. If I were filthy rich, I would change the entire system like Ralph Nader changed car brakes.

the entire make up of mile programs is going to change and I wanna be ready to get out without losses and then not care when the axe does fall. And oh, it WILL fall. I feel it.
