Welcome to FlyerTalk!
Thanks for the Welcome... and the advice. I will stick with NWA WP and the Visa for now. One exception - I will take SkyMiles for one BOS/DCA trip in October. I went into my SkyMiles account and found that I have 22.5K miles due to expire December 2008. I had been taking NWA WP miles for my Delta trips for the past two years and had not realized the DL miles were about to expire. Apparently, my travel on DL does not keep the account active if I choose to take NWA miles, and the miles expire. The SkyMiles member information indicates that Partner travel counts as "activity" but I guess that means getting DL miles for NWA travel.
