Welcome to FT!

You are off to a good start by securing the SPG card and joining various frequent flyer programs.

However, most of us don't fly enough to earn high status on multiple programs. So, concentrate your flying on one airline whenever possible, then its alliance partners (but have miles credited to your primary carrier).

Of course, if you have to fly an airline outside your primary alliance, get the miles anyway. However, there is no reason to join more than one airline per alliance.

For more specific advice, you'll have to tell us where are you based, where you fly, and how much.

Good luck.
