I flat out don't understand the program and how the FF programs work together. I travel only in the US, usually using US Air. So does this all mean that if I happen to fly CO that I can get the miles or segments credited to US Air?

I have only been traveling for a few months and am killing myself trying to get to preferred status. I have 20 segments in the past 2 months.

I've read everything on the Star Alliance site but I'm not getting how this all works together.

Sorry for sounding stupid, can some of you experts help clear it all up.
thanks
Even if CO is a member of the Star Alliance come October 27, US Air can restrict the type of fares to earn redeemable miles, elite qualifying miles and elite qualifying segments. THat being said, check with US Air these fare types before buying them.

For the rest of your question on getting a preferred status, the best place to post this will be on the US Air Forum. Check the stickies there too.
