KLM about 1995.
I got to platinum in a few years and then went back down to bone or wood, whatever it is. Actually I just got back up to silver.
Joined Qantas about 2001, bit the bullet and paid the $100, had platinum for a while then back to gold and now am LTG.
Burnt a lot of points and got good value out of it. I had started with BAEC but got frustrated that I was doing long haul on budget fares and getting no points so switched to Qantas for that reason.

A little fuzzy on specifics but first Pan Am in early 1989, same time as bought then-cheap tickets New Orleans to Nice, then back from Rome to the U.S. This was in the wake of Pan Am 103 so the deals were significant. A year or so later Continental to play a fun game of $19 RT back and forth from home to San Antonio three times in a day that earned promotional miles enough to go to the UK. Or something.

AA 04/1983
UA 1982(?)
My mileage plus number was in the 20000 range, then "Continental" changed it to
"WT......" It was nice having a 5 digit number.
Aadvantage acct is "B......"
When UA started flights to Oz, 2 RT F tickets were ~75k miles!
