I like AA and UAL's programs the best because of their large partner networks and their relatively generous availability of coach awards at a saver level.
For the most part, my miles come from partner non-flying activity, and status has never been a factor for me before. But given my increase in flying, I was just wondering if I should give more thought to status considerations than simple mile accumulation.
