Welcome to FlyerTalk,

Since it is free to join all the frequent flyer programs of which I am aware, I join them all. Especially with programs where miles never expire, I see no down side to multiple memberships, except possibly that I must store/remember another password for yet another online account.
That being said, I also try to fly my preferred airline (or an allied partner) as often as possible, because there is value in having status (earning more points, free checked bags) plus miles/points in one place earns free tickets and upgrades sooner.
