>>Miles are miles dude. Which rewards cards do you use? You could get at least 4 international flights for those numbers.<<
I am AAdvantage and am Platinum for life on AA (also Platinum for life at Marriott/SPG with about 1,500 nights). Although I accumulated 3 million life to date miles I have about 750K for use right now. Yes, that is about 8 1st class transcontinental trips.
I fly frequently enough I have an AA Executive card which gets me and Mrs. FD free access to the Admiral’s Club which makes it a wash on the annual fee.
Props dude. I’ve got the JAL Japan airlines Acc Mileage Card and Alaska Air Miles CC Card. There were a few times I go to the business lounge for JAL and they give me free booze when I’m in transit, when I was in Hk, Seoul and Manila. Same with Alaska when I go back to Canadastan.
I’m in the same boat. It’s like I just like accumulating rewards and use it when Im close to expiring. The Coffee Bean staff keeps reminding me to use my rewards card and I tend to use them ONLY at the last date.
