Yes, you can do that, but then you will have several accounts of unrelated miles and points. Diversity can be a good strategy if you earn enough in each program for an award, but it might mean that you won't have enough of any one type to redeem for an award.

What is your objective?

  • What route(s) do you want to fly on award tickets?
  • In economy or in a premium cabin?
  • One person, a couple or a family?
