I have been crediting this year to BA, as we visited my wife's family in London and it seemed like the best idea. We also flew AA domestically, and CX to Asia, but I have only managed to accumulate 120 Tier Points this year, well off the 300 needed for Bronze, so I think I will jump ship for next year. Might try to get the Companion Pass from SW for domestic travel as soon as 2016 gets here, as I am eligible for both card bonuses again.

THANK YOU!
