Unless you fly a lot better to join 1 FFP in the
alliance you fly most. Could also join 1 FFP in each
alliance. Try for status and a good ff balance in only 1 ffp, unless you fly a lot.
A small balance in a ffp will get you close to nothing. With status only mid top tier gets you real useful benefits.
No use spending more $$$ just to get some ff miles that will be of nil value in the mid-long term.
In USA most ffp are frequent spenders programs. And awards flight dynamically priced.
Do not be sucked in by bloggers.
