Looking for international program to join

I'm already a member of American, United, and Delta FF plans. I've flown Bulgarian Air twice and none of those will accept Bulgarian Air-operated flights for credit, so I need a new program that does accept Bulgarian Air.

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?

>>> Reply:
Good award redemption rates, maybe even better than the 3 American ones I have
Accepts Bulgarian Air flight credits

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?

>>> Reply: "In 2016, I earned 10,103 EQMs and 7 EQSs" in American, so that's probably the same across 3 programs. I pretty much split them among my 3 FF accounts, and just fly whatever's cheapest. That said, if I join a new program that allows me to get credit in more than one alliance, I'd focus on that one.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?

>>> Reply: Economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?

>>> Reply: Yes, I choose for the most part. I travel for both work and pleasure.

5. Which routes do you fly most often?

>>> Reply: Usually US or transatlantic. In the next 4-6 months it'll be mostly within/from Europe

6. What is your home airport?
>>> Reply:
Currently, SOF (Sofia, Bulgaria) until June-Aug. Then it's LAX.

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
>>> Reply:
American: 72,000
Delta: 91,000
United: 112,000

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> Reply:
Whatever's cheapest
