I think the question should be more, what are some of the wildest things you've ever done for points, miles, etc!

I'm sure many of us in here wouldn't dare say publicly some of the things we've done, but it's all in the fun of being a frequent flyer/stayer junkie.

BTW - does that include chopping out coupons from 500 cartons of kelloggs????

I only have two right now, and I'm putting miles on both of them. Are you actually flying all those carriers?

I would venture to say Randy is the biggest FF junky.
He started a magazine and website. Heck he has us all addicted as well!

There's also the guy with 20 million Qantas miles and our very own Pudding Guy (who is perhaps the most renowned mileage junkie).

The amount of programs doesn't say a thing, the amount you maintain top tier status on WITHOUT comping is more important.

I can sign up for over 40 FF programs in an hour without setting foot on a single plane, that doesn't make me a junkie.

I nominate myself. Had I known in advance how much time maintaining my web site on the subject would take, I probably wouldn't have started it.

Free Frequent Flyer Miles

I would rather have a WHOLE LOTTA miles in a FEW FF programs to play with, then a few miles in a whole lot of programs.

Hey d00t, I double dare ya

I'm top tier on DL (six years in a row, almpost there for next year already), BA(five years in a row, just requal'd for next year), BD(three years in a row, although I admit that the BD is just about gone and I won't bother again 2nd tier is okay there) and KL(half qual'd last year per the deal and have re-qual'd already). All earned.

BEAT THAT!

guys, guys, put the cocks away

I don't know about the BIGGEST, but the smartest/most inventive has to be the Puddinguy!

Oh, and dannyr...Fedex? UPS? DHL?

What is it with this love for pudding guy? Agreed that it was a smart move but I think that folks that got millions off the KLM comp were smarter and needed a lot less hassle...

But what about me? This year most people my age (17) are out getting drunk at parties while I have flown 20 times, 18 on my own bill to maintain AAdvantage Platinum status.
