I have been MVP with Alaska for years (as I lived in Alaska) and I've recently moved to Philadelphia. I have no interest in US Air, so don't bring that up.

My question is... Is it better to continue earn miles and keep my elite status with Alaska, or should I start my elite status now with Delta. I almost feel like Alaska has a better program as I can earn miles on Delta and American, which is more useful being on the East Coast.

Any thoughts on which program I should focus on for 2013?

Thanks!
