He's really undervaluing his time and energy. Maybe this is a fun and exciting game for him, but I'd think someone as clever and determined could do something more productive.
And that's just /earning/ the miles, never mind using them. I have 1.4 million miles because even the act of using them consumes a lot of clock time and usually turns out a waste of energy (tickets based on mileage are rarely available for the routes/dates I want to fly).

- ddingus 11y agoI don't buy that. How we value things really does vary from person to person. His time and money commit was not large, yet he got a nice perk, at least one or two awesome flights somewhere he would want to go, status, and a chance to hang with the locals where he did the rentals. Bonus, a nice day just driving around a part of the world just for the hell of it. To me personally, that and the chance to interact with some people there is worth a lot. And this guy didn't pay all that much.
- tnuc 11y agoIf you want to sell some of those miles let me know. I can give you full instructions on what (and how) to book and I will give you cash.
