*UA mileage plus: 1K (member since 1990?)
*LH miles & more: ff, will become Senator in 99 after party in paradise (member since 1998 only)
*SR Qualiflyer (no special status, member since the beginning, I use it ONLY for awards, I accumulate A LOT of miles only with credit cards etc.)

Awards:
*UA:
- for my family: free International First class tickets (3 times 2-person-awards since jan-1-98 Europe-US)
- confirmable one-way-upgrades on long-haule-flights
- last minute european eco or business class flights with LH in high season (when the price to be paid is unreasonable high)
*SR:
- european eco or business-class SR flights, when SR is the only reasonable connection
*LH:
- don't know yet, will have accumulated 200'000 miles till nov-99

(some "oldies" here may remember, for the others I explain again: I don't bring SR any Swiss Franks - since my sister in law, working for them over 29 years, has been laid off 2 years ago - together with many colleagues: by age & experience & pension-fund-costs, that age-group became to costly for SR ...)
