Help! Which FF program should I stay with?
I've been scratching my head for far too long on this one, so would appreciate any insights/help:
1. Current FF programs: 9W Gold, LH FF status, IT Gold.
2. Travel is predominantly Del - Mum, and Del - Yul.
3. I would have stayed with my 9W program, but found that I do not get any credit for my Frankfurt - Montreal sector on Air Canada. I do get credited for the Del - Frankfurt sector on LH.
4. My Citi Jet credit card adds a lot of points every month.
5. My plan (so far) has been: Switch to Miles & More. Get credited on my Del - Yul flights. Fly Jet or AI on domestic flights and get award (not status??) miles on my Miles & More card. Haven't been able to figure out what to do with my credit card (would like to stay with Citi...) which does help in accumulating a lot of points.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!

If you are looking to consolidate into one FF in the long term then i would go for IT but you will have to switch airlines:
DEL-BOM on IT
DEL-YUL = DEL to YUL via LHR on BA*.
*Only valid after IT joins Oneworld
DEL-BOM on IT
DEL-YUL = DEL to YUL via LHR on BA*.

welcome to ft ravemania....
it seems like kingfisher is probably the better program for you in the long run....like d3vski said, once they join oneworld you won't have to switch between airlines....
you could also get the kingfisher plus amex card....will give you a decent amount of king club miles....if you don't want to leave citibank then continue spending on the jet platinum card....you could go for status with kingfisher & get points with jet....
