I can't help with a mentor, but perhaps someone will send you a PM. The forums are here to ask your questions so we can all benefit from the information. I'm sure you are not the only person with the questions, so please ask away. Nothing is too minor or a "dumb" question... we were all new to this at one time. And no one knows everything about every program. Even a longtime "expert" may have questions when forced to a new program / airline.

But if you prefer someone to talk to one-on-one, you might consider attending a gathering of FTers (see the Community Buzz forum). Regardless of the event, miles & points are always on topic. Or for a crash course, look into the Chicago Seminar Do where you'll find lots of like minded people to talk miles & swap tips.
