In an upcoming story, we've been putting together a list of the absolute best feature of each frequent traveler and a list of the absolute worst feature of each program. Any of you care to comment on the best/worst features of each of your programs to compare with others?
I'll start: among the best features of the Mileage Plus program is the fact they don't charge you express redemption fees for awards like it seems all the other programs do. Forget that $35-75 stuff.</font>
Northwest and Continental do not charge express redemption fees either. And there was a loophole mentioned in FT to avoid the fees charged by Delta.
And with AAdvantage - if you know that you are going to make a trip within a year, you can request a certificate and use it for a last minute trip without paying any fees.
