Hi,

I've started flying more regularly since last year, but have not until now seriously looked into mileage programs - therefore I hope for your advice:

(1) What is your home airport?
FRA
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Usually economy (Y,K,W), business when travelling for work (1-2 trips a year)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
25K-35K
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
No status
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
First of all, starting to collect miles in ANY program
Star Alliance Gold Status for lounge access would be great.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often
Mostly within Germany/Europe, maybe 2-3 trips to US/Asia
(7) Preferred Airlines
None
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
Both, while I personally travel in economy class, flights that are paid by the company are in business class.

So far, I've tried wheretocredit.com on my upcoming trips in the next months:
FRA-ORD-FRA (C)
FRA-TXL-FRA (K)
FRA-FCO-ICN-NRT-ICN-FRA (W)

While A3 will credit me more miles than OZ, the latter only needs 40,000 Miles in 2 years for *A Gold, while A3 (if I understand correctly) wants overall 36,000 Miles + 6 Flights with A3 in 1 year...

What would you suggest?

Thanks for you help!
