Great site. I've spent way too much time trying to figure out which ffp to use and still haven't come up with one for 2010. I am new to the ff game and could use some guidance on who I should use.

Currently, I have no status with any airline. As far as accumulated miles go, I have 49k sitting in Delta with no miles anywhere else. I will be using PHL and EWR although ABE is closest to me. I'm flying on my own dime mostly which means back of the bus. Domestically, I will be going mainly to the southeast - ATL around 12-15 times(leave fri & come back sun) and if I go to corp hq that would be TYS once or twice a year. International will be tatl. Looking at 4 trips - TXL x 2, cdg and lhr/lgw. No interest in tpac.

The two programs that I'm looking at are CO and DL and am leaning CO. CO looks great because I could use onepass on US from PHL - ATL and I like ewr-txl. DL seemed fine as well until I found out that 49k SM is valued somewhere around the german DM circa 1920s. I'm not sure if this is hyperbole or what. There seems to be no middle ground with SM amongst the FT community. Love or hate. Am I missing out not considering US or UA? AA doesn't help me with my domestic travel.

Any help would be appreciated.
