Ah--but are they all current (unexpired)?

The numbers we are talking about are just for this year--if I dig into
my "collection", that is all the cards I have since I began keeping
them, I have a mere ~550.

IMHO, it is a very worthwhile thread. It is great to hear from the credit card mavens. Wow! 700K plus miles from credit cards. (And I thought I was doing well!)

Yep, that's what the record requires. Simply collecting expired plastics isn't enough.

Wow! 999,000 miles w/o ever being inside a plane. That's incredible! I pre-assume your 10 more cards are on their way.
I feel inadequate with only 3 cards this year.

Don't fee inadequate! Just get some more cards!

By the way, this thread inspired me to just now apply for another UAL card for 25K miles. Thank you FTers. ^
