SFO and/or STS (AS flys out of STS, F9 may in the future, I know those are not *A)

25K-35K
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Premier, M&M Senator etc)
None
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)
good award redemption rates; free lounge access
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
SFO-MSY 5 x/year. Plus myself & spouse going from SFO to Nice, France in fall 2012 and would like to use miles for at least one passenger. My *A balances are 55K on US, 40K COUA.
(7) Preferred Airlines
WN, AS, CO
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you choose your airlines, class of service?)
Work for myself can choose; like a great deal & not very loyal; would like to focus on one or two other airlines besides WN

Suggestions? Just got the CO Onepass MC, just got the US Premier MC. Open to other FF card offers to boost miles.
