Family flyer, I will try what you have suggested with MCI. My reservation with the Sprint NW offer is the 18 months. There have been 25,000 mile deals for 12 months offered by MCI before

But what I tried to convey in my prior message is that it doesn't matter what Sprint is offering. If you've been with MCI for a while and switch, MCI nearly always comes back with a return offer which it usually not published.
As an aside, if you are in the minority of people on this board (like myself) who only needs miles, not upgrade status, then it pays to use more than one FF program.
Maybe you don't fly NW a lot, but unless you can't use the airline, why give up the chance to earn 20,000 miles?
And with programs like Starwood's where you can earn miles without committing them to one airline, it definitely pays to be flexible.
