What I want to know is, how do people amass these huge quantities of points. You get like 30 every month for paying your bill... wtf.

I have 200,000 but don't ask me how. I have had Verizon since 2008 and never used any points or even knowing I had points until a few months ago. But with Verizon you have to use a huge amount of points to even get some sort of discount on anything.
For instance, right now they have an auction. Current bid for a $5 papa Johns gift card is almost 80,000 points.

Same here. I had no idea I had points or how I got them.

AHHHHH, okay, I see now. You all are talking about the SmartRewards points you get thru Verizon Wireless? Those points seem pretty de-valued; in my area all they're good for is getting some BOGO restaurant coupons and entering sweepstakes (wtf?!?)

I was thinking the "MyRewards" points you get for paying your residential (FIOS Internet/TV) bill on time, renting movies through On-Demand, etc.
