Like most Flyertalkers, I've become moderately obsessed with managing my miles (though not nearly as obsessed as some!!). After cashing in some NW miles for 2 free domestic tickets this week, I took a look at my FF accounts, and decided I could use some help/advice.
Here's the situation: I'm moving to DTW shortly, and my company travel will all but cease. When I do travel, my company favors UA and NW, but I'd estimate my personal/business travel will shrink to under 20,000 miles/year, at least in the short term (and I think my wife would frown upon mileage runs).
I was hoping to build up Delta miles to get 2 biz class tix to Bali on SQ (as well as top off some of my other accounts), so here's where I stand now:
United (2P): 36,000
Delta: 160,000 (also have Delta Amex)
Northwest: 6,000
American: 17,000
Continental: 17,000
USAirways: 14,000
Note that other than 12,000 HHonors points, I don't have any other hotel programs.
So... I need some advice. Should I concentrate on building up Delta, or perhaps DL and NW (since I'll be living in Detroit)??
Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?
