My heroes – couple collects 670k points with credit cards!

I just saw this thread on FlyerTalk. The couple in question here started the year with 0 miles/points and has accumulated 670,000 points – without flying a mile! They applied for multiple credit cards between them to collect these points. The subject of the thread seems to suggest that the poster did it single-handedly, but it was between him and his wife. Impressive none the less.

Here is the list of cards they collected:

• 75k AA Citi Card
• 75K AA Citi Business Amex
• 75K AA Citi Visa (Wife)
• 75K AA Citi Amex (Wife)
• 50K Southwest Premier
• 50K Southwest Plus [Current offer: 25k Southwest Plus 
• 50K Southwest Premier (Wife)
• 50K Southwest Plus (Wife)
• 30K Chase Freedom 
• 30K Chase Freedom (Wife)
• 50K Chase Ink Business 
• 50K Amex Gold Business

I am not endorsing (or not endorsing, for that matter) all these cards – the only ones I have myself are – AA Citi Visa and the AmEx Gold Business. Also, I would not advise everyone to do this; your credit score needs to be able to handle all the pulls!
