Ok.. Ok.. let me see...

This year I had PremEx on UA for 1/2 the year then made 1K this fall (through Feb of 2001). I also get recomped to Hilton (gold) through next year.. and they promise some good additions to their program... Also have Gold with Starwood Prefered. I was in a corporate apartment this year, so I do not have my Hilton Diamond.

I think my strategy is to keep Marriott Gold and try to stay more for the next level. Hilton I will see what happens with there "new family" members and how they fit into Hilton HHonors.

I really enjoy Starwood. I have stayed at some wonderful Westins.. and W Hotels. The Sheratons are sometimes good, sometimes yuck.. But I do love the Westin/W chain (where I will be spending my free Fridays!!).

For now, I will requalify on UAL 1K, and try to get some miles on Delta (since why bother getting UA miles if it doesn't count).. also I have 100,000 milesi n Delta from the 1-1 promotion with Diners Club, and some status may help when flying on them.....

I do alot of domestic short hops, so most of my miles are in bonuses and I qualify on segmnets (although this year I had 98,000 miles and 110 segments on UAL).

As always, an addict, my wife would prefer I had no status and minimal miles (so i would be home)...

LOL!
