One year, the two weeks was used for my honeymoon, and even that was exhausting. Needed a vacation after that, just to veg... but went back to work. In a little over 5 years, I earned almost 1 million reward miles. That was between 1996 and 2001. Since then, I've used practically all the miles, with the exception of some few thousand, which I ended up using on free magazine subscriptions. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I had so many miles, I gave a few flights away to strangers (relatives of my close friends).

I have no problem sleeping on the plane, even after drinking a few cups of generic Starbucks house coffee.

I did very well during those years.
![]() Then I quit to raise my family, staying local for the kids. I've done quite well over the past 4 years while at my current company. In fact, my salary now equals my consulting gigs in the past, so it's awesome to be paid well and be able to sleep in your own bed and see your family. However, my company has been acquired, and I expect to be looking for a job in the near future.

LOL... no more miles now. I used the last big chunk of miles on a flight for four to Orlando, using the standard free awards (40k miles per flight) to guarantee flights during the spring break time. 160k miles just like that.
For my honeymoon to Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Auckland (NZ) and Sydney (Australia), I spent over 220k miles on business class. So the miles are earned somewhat quickly (I got double miles due to my status), however, the miles are spent even faster.

Some who worked on the east coast would take weekend trips to the UK. Furthermore, when you are on the road as a consultant, depending on the company you work with, you may earn per diem or just have your hotel/meals paid for. I had per diem and didn't use it all up every day. So I always had leftover money to spend on whatever.

One of my buddies here (Purple All Sectors) got a free 1st class flight to Honolulu from me because he needed a last minute flight. It's easy to dump miles when you had almost 1mil miles... and back then, they used to expire.
