For some reason I know my numbers on AA and Avis even though they are not, and have never been the most used. For the others, Evernote, my phone, my laptop and our CTM all do a much better job of remembering them. Some are just too damn long anyway, like Miles&More's.

Way to long!
I can remember my credit card numbers but not my M&M number although they're the same length. Perhaps because I use the credit card too much and the M&M card not enough!
I know my Qantas Frequent Flyer number and can usually recall it instantly. I know the first number of my Air New Zealand Airpoints number, but that's it. Not a clue about any of the others.
I know my UA, AA, and DL numbers by heart. And I'm surprised when agents are surprised when I'm able to rattle them off off the top of my head when needed because I feel like why wouldn't you know the numbers?
That said, I feel like kiosks and other airline systems have gotten much better over the years about recognizing FF profiles and adding the number when booking and then making sure the miles are quickly credited.
"We hope you've enjoyed flying with us as much as we've enjoyed taking you for a ride."
I only know one of my FQTV numbers by heart (my AB Topbonus number)
There are just too many other numbers to keep in my mind ... (CC / several PIN numbers / etc.)
Only my credit card number I can tell any time including CVC number which makes instant online purchases easier.
Flying is not inherently dangerous but it is very unforgiving in case of carelessness, incapacity or neglect.
I know my WN, AA, DL and UA numbers. B6 I don't know, and not a single hotel or car loyalty plan number, in fact I'm not 100% sure which Hotel and Car plans I am actually a member of. I know my very first check account number from the UK for an account I have barely used in 20 years but haven't got a clue about my current checking account.
