Rock on, I just started frequent business travel 2 years ago next month and it took me quite a while to find out what I liked.

Flyertalk was a great resource for me, although it can be confusing stay with it. There are growing pains and I have some stranded miles in some programs I didn't like that much but they were all worth trying.

Get your staus and stay loyal but feel free to branch out a little when you are getting going, programs vary greatly and no 2 business travelers are the same.
