I've been looking around trying to figure out how the skyteam elite program works. How does skyteam know when I reach 25,000 miles? I have about 20k of miles so far on NW, and I'm about to get 8k on Alitalia that I can't put into NW. Does skyteam magically know that I flew all of those? Or do I have to get 25k on a single airline? I will be reaching the 50k mark soon too, but once again it won't be on one airline, I have to spread the miles out across various sky team airlines. Thanks!
