Air Frances' program has some weird point system now which doesn't seem to credit other ST flights regularly... is it better to just start over with Delta?
Better to have a good read of the DL forum.
DL is a revenue based scheme and does not publish an award chart. If you are doing on average 1 cheap flight a week will not earn that much. AA & UA are also revenue based.
Unlimited upgrades may be being optimistic. Potential for theoretical upgrades and actual upgrades may be different. Info & guidance will be in the DL forum.
