That's true, BUT that would only work with an American Express!
AX gives different account numbers to authorized users. However, for VI and MC, authorized users are issued a card with the same account number.
True for my TD Visa Gold Travel and SPG M/C but CIBC Aerogold provides different # for me and Mrs on the same account.
I personnally focus on DL and AA with Idines and move between the 2 depending on best promo. DL seems to have been giving the best since I discovered RN. I haven't done much with my PC program as, with a family of 4, I burn more flying Miles than hotel points.
I guess you must also look at the redemption rate for each program. Delta gives a bit more bonuses but not many decent Sky Saver redemption are available on Delta. So you get a bit more Miles but you need more Miles for the redemptions. So maybe better to stick with AA.
Too bad Aeroplan doesn't join RN. Their Advantex 2 miles per $ is pale in comparison...and Aeroplan charges a little fortune in taxes and fee on reward tickets...but this has been discussed at lenght in the Aeroplan forum.
