Then, they provide SWUs and are the only U.S. carrier to offer comp. club memberships for top tier Elites.

I sent CO an email in response to them asking for my vote.
The gist is that if they had better deliver what they advertise, because they aren't. very rare upgrades, ~0 award availability. even the best of agents can't turn R0 to R1 or E0 to E1 for a plat, in my experience.

My vote to NW. They offer Plat companion upgrades at 5 day window.

I would cast my vote for AA. They've made some very useful additions to their site this year.
