Hi, I have some issues, sorry if I am not answering all the question in the first page, but I'll try to make myself as clear as possible.

I already have a OneWorld card (my card is with Iberia program), but I also sometimes fly with Skyteam and StarAlliance.

So here's my questions, my objective with accumulating miles is simply earning enough points to make free trips, I only pay for miles IF paying for miles gives me trips and IF it is cheaper than buying the ticket already.

Well my whole philosophy of living when I am traveling, besides having a minimum of comfort (that's why when I traveled from Spain to Hong Kong I choose premium economy as my class), is that is not about the flight as much as it is about the experience in the ground, knowing new cultures, experiencing new things.

Like I said I have a card with OneWorld (Iberia), I also have an number of an account with TAP (Star Alliance), but I'm not quite sure I want to have a TAP number, because they plain out refuse to give me a card, and I plain out refuse not having one, I want a card, so when I check in the desk I can say:

Hey, here's my card, can you please put my miles here? Thank you!

Having paper or checking my phone for the number is always annoying, a card is more convenient.

So let's break down what I said until now:

I want to use my points for traveling

I don't care much about flight (but I want a minimum of comfort specially on long trips, short trip is whatever, I do not mind to use airlines like Ryanair).

I want a card.

And last (I haven't told yet but is heavily implied), I'm based in Europe, in Portugal to be more exact.

I want an affiliate program that satisfies me with SkyTeam and Star Alliance.

Can you help me out, I would be grateful.

Thank you so much!
