TIA
Have you checked to see how many miles it would take to fly where you want, when you want?
You can convert some of those miles/points into one airline as shown at mileage converter.

That can give you an idea. As you'll learn from FT, having lots of accounts with a relative few miles in each is not where you want to be.
