(1) What is your home airport? BCN

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? None atm
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? priority services then award redemption
(6) Which routes do you fly most often BCN to SFO, typically with stopover in FRA or IAD
(7) Preferred Airlines United and Lufthansa
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Primarily work, I have some influence on the airline pick.
I have to fly BCN-SFO 2-4 times a year for work and am looking for what FF program that would make the most sense. It'll mostly be operated by United or Lufthansa, but I can't always pick who the ticket is through. I already have a return trip booked (BCN-IAD-SFO->SFO-FRA-BCN) and it's operated by United on all but FRA-BCN but on Lufthansa ticket.
Besides the work trips, I'll fly locally in Europe for vacations, but typically not with Star Alliance, and perhaps once every few years to US where awards flights would be handy.
I do have a SAS Eurobonus account and a Eurobonus Mastercard, but it's rarely used and I have no status there.
