Well, since making EXP last year, I am blown away by the award options since I live in DFW. E.g., HNL-DFW in First, stopover, DFW-NRT-FUK in Business for 50K miles. Return NRT-DFW, stopover, DFW-ANC for 50K.

I've got lots of BA and UA miles, but they just don't go very far comparatively. Plus, the SWU's are a great option (even if they make me spend $4K/yr on international economy fares). Getting frequent upgrades for business travel on top of that? Seems like the best program out there by far.

My wife and I can visit 4 continents per year in business class for $3-4K + miles with some planning. Love may be a strong word, but I don't hate it. :-)
