1) What is your home airport? SJU, but I travel internaitonally a lot
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Heavily discounted C, sometimes heavily discounted F
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 200k, but I *also* maintain DL Diamond and AA Exec Platinum, and Star Alliance is my tertiary.
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? DL Diamond, AA ExecPlat (OW E), TK ElitePlus (*G), SQ Silver (via match), B6 Mosaic 4, F9 100K,
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Lounges, minimal hassle, baggage, decent website
(6) Which routes do you fly most often JFK/MIA/YUL to Europe, Europe to Asia, Asia to USA, MIA/SJU to LatAm
(7) Preferred Airlines JL NH SQ AF QR
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Both,
(9) Can you chooose your airlines, class of service? Always (Allowed to fly paid full-fare C/F if I really want to, but I'm cheap)

Basically, trying to decide (since I got an SQ status match for no good reason) if I should try to do KF Gold, and maybe try for PPS (which would be a huge stretch). I like TK because it's low effort to maintain, and I can use it for *G benefits on my (rare) *A flights, plus the upgrades have been nice. I don't love the TK website, though, and I probably fly SQ slightly more than TK now. It isn't clear to me if I can redeem better on one or the other.
