I usually fly Southwest, so I am a Rapid Rewards member. It's a good program, but I always disliked that they didn't partner with the hotel chains I frequented so those stays always seemed wasted. Lately I have been getting more interested in travel to other destinations. I earned some points this year on Hawaiian and British Air and I realized that maybe I should try to focus on one program for all my non-SW travel and for my hotel stays and other mile-earning activities. I would still be doing most of my travel with SW, so is there a good program for an infrequent, leisure traveller like me? Maybe one with a lot of non-flight earning opportunites? I don't know if I would like having to focus on one airline, since I tend to look for the best deal. Can I pool miles from different sources? Are the miles that I earned this year wasted because I didn't think of this earlier? Is there a good website that I could go to that details these kinds of thing for newbies? Thanks.
