Best point/mileage earning nugget: Understand and pay attention to best practices in churning credit cards. Credit cards are the single most valuable points/miles earning source there is.
Its more important to spend the miles efficiently than collecting
Best thing to do is keep your credit score high. CC bonuses are the fastest way to a high level of miles.

Credit every single miles. I can’t believe how people forget to do this all the time!
Focus on one airline per alliance, and credit all your miles there.

Advises from my frieds
Focus on one program
Not a shockingly original piece of information, but: mile bonuses for new credit cards are the easiest and most rewarding way for most people to earn miles. All your spending should be going to meeting minimum spend requirements for the next big bonus card.
