The details of such programs can be subtly determined, if you get a second interview, and if you/they are even interested in pursuing the employment offer. IMHO, you are way ahead of yourself. Apply for the job...go from there..you/they may not be a match. If you're risking your current employment by even applying, and you like where you are; forget the whole thing. But if it's an opportunity you've been looking for, don't let miles/points run your life...you probably have a family (if not, well OK, so I'm not a mind-reader) - you do what's best for your (collectively) future; miles/points aside.
Thanks for your response. I do appreciate you taking the time to review the AIG website. However, I wasn't really looking for an analysis of my life or an occupational counseling session.
When most people consider interviewing for a new position, they not only consider the salary, but also compare the benefits. When you travel extensively for business, retaining the miles and points is a big consideration.
