Hi!, to one and all. As a UK resident, I am always looking to increase my earning opportunities with the best mileage deals. As an ex Million Miler with Northwest, we were dumped out of WorldPerks some 2 years back, and were forced to join KLM Flying Dutchman, which like all European schemes, leaves a lot to be desired compared to US based schemes. I am thinking of starting again with Alaska, as on the face of it, their partners give me everything I need, (just about); BritishAirways, AA, KLM, Northwest, Continental, TWA, Canadian. However, before jumping ship, I would appreciate some input from you guys as to the merits or otherwise...i.e What would you do ? Thanks.
