Plus at present they are offering a 20K points sign up bonus, which translates to 25K miles in most programmes (5K bonus if you transfer 20K miles)!

Does this change any minds as to choice of programme?

So what's the concensus given this nugget?

I don't actually fly a lot (have a very young family) but i do spend a lot (run a business.)

Don't really care about status, just want good value easy to find redemtions.

I'm thinking US airways, the birds out of MAN will now have flat beds, and burn rate doesn't seem bad, plus low taxes.

Or (puts on his helmet here, to shield himself) AAdvantage?? Partner award table doesn't seem too bad.
