Thats why I am trying to decide if I should go for AA miles instead(ofcourse I have zero AA miles to begin with..never flew AA)
I dont like magazines with miles but what r u going to do with any miles less than those needed for award travel?
Thanks
I have about 63000 miles just now with about 33000 more on the way.
If you are expecting it to take you "a few years" I wouldn't consider an airline FF program at all. Switching to AA would take you even longer. I expect you don't do a lot of flying, and this is how you garner enough miles for a free trip. For example, a trip to Singapore is almost enough for a free ticket. You must also consider that award tickets are not always available for the dates you want to fly. Your best bet would perhaps be a free hotel stay.
