I appreciate the welcome to this fascinating forum and the good information as well about having multiple FF accounts. I rather thought having 'major' ones (in my case Delta and Air France) along with some FF accounts where I could park some miles would be a good idea. I think I will look into AAAdvantage and United or USAir next or maybe wait until they have a nice sign-up bonus!

I also have an Amex Gold Delta SkyMiles card, so I am racking (sp) up miles with that too!

And finally, pgary's site 'Free Frequent Flyer Miles' is an awesome resource, I have learned so much from it.

Thank you everyone.
