Best FT Program from SFO
 

Hi,
I'll move to SFO in few weeks and i am wondering if i need to change my miles program. At the moment i am in Germany and i have the Senator Status with miles and more.

Should i change my FT programm? i would probably use the award miles for flight to Italy


Regards

Is the move permanent or for a limited time?
Staying with M&M may be the best

Best Frequent Flyer Program for you?
The answer to this question depends very much on your personal travel profile and objectives.
- what is your definition of best?
- do you value miles/points (or equivalent) for redemption over gaining status?
- do you fly enough to gain any meaningful status?
- what do you want to use the miles/points for (award, upgrade, hotels, what ever)?
- what sort of flight award is of interest (destination, class of travel)?
- are you interested in topping up by paying cash for miles?
- which airline and where do you normally fly?
- are you primarily a leisure or business traveller?
- where do you live?
- do you have other ways of earning points in the various programs, e.g. credit cards, shopping, etc,?
- there is a big difference between a frequent flyer and a frequent spender getting ff miles from a credit card
- etc, etc, etc
