Working the system question

[ar13]

I read on the site what Dan had written about his 5th anniversary (Congrats!) and all the trip he has taken over the years. He wrote that he had wracked up a million miles by the age of 18. My question is where do I read about racking up such large numbers of miles and points? Right now any card that comes out I open one in my name and one in my wifes name but that no where near getting to massive numbers! Then after canceling the card I need to wait 12 months before reopening it and qualifying for the bonus again!.... Where can I read about the different strategies and ways to be able to get into the big leagues?

Ok, How about a basic blue print to a million miles in one year? I've read a lot of threads but just don't get how its doable with only 2 socials... If you only qualify for the bonus once every 12 months!

Who said you are only getting the bonus once every 12 months?
Who said 1,000,000 miles was all for the same airline?
There are so many different cards you can open. And some are more easily churned than others.

I was under the assumption that Amex is a once in 12 month bonus ability... so I attributed that to the other cards as well. You mean to say I can open the same card over and over again?

Welcome to the world of churning!

Ok ok, this next question might get me shot, but does churning mean closing the card and then reopening it?

Yes, there are plenty of cards you can open multiple times a year.

Just as an example
You: sp=43k+ib&ip = 110k
Wife ditto=43+110
   Total UR=306,000
Do this three times = 918,000
And this is just a drop in the bucket!!
