Have you ever thought of United Mileage Plus Status.
They fly to all the places you list, with the exception of Manila (UA code-shares to MNL through HKG and NRT).
When you fly UA metal as a (50,000 mile flyer and up) you will recieve 100% mile flight bonus.
And your paid J (C) flights can be upgraded to F... (from miles you're earning at double the speed)
just my 2 cents
I thought about UA a lot but just don't do enough travel to the U.S. to justify a UA Mileage Plus Account. A few years back I seriously thought of flying to BKK via SEA on UA but decided that I didn't want to go through all the hassle of pre-clearing US immigration each time and also clearing US immigration on the way back again in addition to clearing Canada customs and immigration after flying for 19 hours.
For Canada I am using CANPASS, don't have NEXUS yet as there was no need for it, maybe one day when clearing US immigration will be more effecient I would definetly consider UA.
