Hi,
Since I'm new to the board, here is some info about me:

US Chairmans for the first time. Was gold every year since 93. Travel to Charlotte all the time.

Have flown US, BA, Quantas and South African on international flights in first or business class.

Starwood Gold....hoping for Platinum this year. This is by far my favorite hotel program...great hotels all over the world...miles that can convert easily to airlines and at good value.

Hilton Gold...might get close to Diamond this year. Have 250,000 points - anyone know which airlines you can transfer hilton points to?

Am in Phl airport all the time....has the two best airport restaurants I have ever experienced...the asian bistro in terminal b and an italian one by the same company in terminal c....they are so good, I go to the airport early to enjoy a good meal.

Travel a lot to Italy.

Going to be in South Africa 2 more times this year, Singapore in Oct and doing at least 4 int'l trips next year.

blah blah blah
