At the moment I'm moving ( as a European citizen ) to the US. Would it make any sense to open a second account and start collecting WP points again? I know I would loose some bonus miles for the first few flights, but is there any reason to do so? Might be availability of Trans-Pacific Business Awards is better if you're WP Plat? Nothing to worry, I expect 2009 appr. 400k status miles
Just get NW to status match your FB account whilst keeping your FB account for our lifetime status.

Also worth remembering that WP as a program will soon be history as DL and NW are about to align their two programmes for 2009 (announcements next week I would guess). So whilst WP may be interesting today, it may resemble skymiles a lot more come March 1, including the three tier reward system currently implemented by Delta.
