Active in the following airline programs:

CO - 300K+ miles - Gold
UA - 90K+ - PEx
AA - 75K
US - 110K - Preferred
DL - 75K

Also member of NW, Alaska, and Reno but close to zero miles on them.
Have redeemed multiple awards on UA, AA, and US. None on any of the others.

Active in following hotel programs:

Hilton Honors - 600K points
Marriott Rewards - 500K
Starwood - 35K
HI Priority Club - 15K

Also member of BW and Hyatt, but rarely use.

Also have miles in AMEX MR (150K+), Transmedia (8K), ClickRewards (7K if E-Trade ever posts what they owe me), theTrip.com (8K).

Probably missed someone. It's out of control!!!

CO Onepass - Silver Elite
Delta Skymiles: Silver Medallion

Hilton Hhonors - Gold VIP
Marriott Rewards - Gold MArquis

I have others but rarely use them. Delta status is also comped b/c I used to fly them but now fly continental and they offered me a comp this year. I have yet to fly them yet in 99.

UA (first choice by far)
150,000 on tap and free Intl. first ticket SFO-LHR in hand.
NW
Because I had to use them to JFK and SFO last year. Just redeemed business NRT-SFO to tie in with UA LHR trip.
NH and JL
I live here so it goes with the territory.
DL
They would not ordinarily get the business, but Pan Am going belly up gave me enough for a free ticket.

Well, BlondeBomber didn't ask for the hotel programs but if some of you are adding:

Hotel Programs (This is NOT in order of preference because lately it's been changing faster than Eddie the cat sheds his hair

Hilton HHonors: Gold with over 102 thousand points.
*Cashed in awards for Berlin (Germany) San francisco airport hotel (for first hawaii trip) and will cash in for four nites at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for the Party in Paradise (will pay one night to requalify for at least Silver if not gold!)
Marriott Rewards: 15 thousand points (some of them hopefully being transferred from my monthly AT&T phone bill!)
*Once cashed in points to stay at the Marriott Suites for business trip to San Diego. There were no decent hotel availiable and I refused to stay at Motel Six.
Starwood Preferred Guest: Gold
*Plan to use some points for part of stay at Westin Maui for post Party in Paradise recovery.
Hyatt Gold: Gold
*Generally request airline miles since I don't stay much there... but this could change very soon!
HOliday Inn Priority Club: Regular
*Request airline miles. (And have to write for credit for one stay in Texas.)

IN addition:
The "late" Sheraton Club International: Gold.
*Rolled over points to Westin for Maui stay in 1998.
THe "Late" Westin Premier: Burgundy.
*Used points for stays in Paris (Hotel Astor) and Maui (Westin Maui.) I will miss this program.

Been a member of AAdvantage since 1993, but rarely use it. Most of my flying on business is on Delta and of course, this is the one I have the most miles (around 25k and growing).

Coming a distant second is CO's OnePass, with about 12,000 miles, mostly from the Premier Pack and sign up bonuses.

I also have memberships in the frequet-flyer programs of TW, UA, US, WN, NW and HP, but don't use 'em much, if at all, except for "double-dipping" miles if I get re-routed on these carriers should I get bumped or miss a connection on DL or CO.

hmm-I guess 4 active-UA premier exec, about 200k miles in the bank. NW silver, 100k miles in the bank. TW elite, 150k miles in the bank. DL nothing, 90k miles. Inactives: BA nothing, 35k miles. AWA nothing, 17k miles (soon to be rounded to 20K--thanks Diners' Club!). Korean Air nothing, 8k miles. Midwest Express nothing, 8k miles.

This covers every combination of FF program that I could dream of. I have used up both AA (70k in 1994)and CO 80k in 1989) and use the partners if I happen to fly them.

Well, after lurking here for a while here goes me first post:
Airline Progams: DL, WN, UA, AA, US, HP, AS, TWA. Primarily on Delta (415,000 miles) and Southwest(+- 12 free trips earned) due to location & destinations frequently traveled to: Western 3rd of US, and Florida. I haven't redeemed many awards with DL because their miles don't expire, and I've ended up using awards from UA (MSY & DCA) as they were about to expire, and from WN.

Hotel Programs: Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, Hyatt, La Quinta(free night after 11 stays), Best Western.

Car Rental: Alamo, Hertz, Avis, National.

BlondeBomber's forum only shows there is no such thing as the definitive frequent Flyer (well, maybe Randy Petersen and Rudi Martel come very close.)

There are those on one program and those on too many programs.

There are those who do it for free flights and those like myself who like upgrades and a free hotel night here and there.

That's what's fun about FlyerTalk: we span all types and all interests and all travel plans (It's theonly forum where a flyer with
cat hair on his clothes is just as accepted as a Big boot wearing Texan who thinks he's Meg Ryan!)

I am active in OnePass (Platinum), World Perks (Silver), and Aadvantage. These are the only three that I have redeemed points in. I am also a member of several international carriers ff programs such as Thai, JAL, ANA, etc.

I just wish all airlines would join into partnerships with our American carriers so that I would not have to spread my miles around so much.

In their order of usage: TWA Aviators, NW World Perks, AA, United, USAir, Delta - TWA gets on my nerves, but love that you get miles for dollars as well as miles!!

hotels (in order of nights/year, always going for the miles):
Marriott Miles (Marquis with 15 min nights / year)
LHW (LeadersClub of the Leading Hotels of the world)
Starwood (ex Sheraton Gold, ex Westin)
CP Canadian Pacific
Swissotel (Qualiflyer)
InterContinental
HiltonHonors
Camino Real Prestige
Holiday Inn

car rental:
Hertz (#1 Gold)
Sixt
Avis

Rudi, I hadn't heard of a LHW club. I stay in their hotels often. I'll have to see about getting a card.

I have...

Sheraton Gold
IC Six Continents
Marriot Rewards
Hilton Gold
Hyatt Platinum

Hertz Gold
National Emerald
Avis Preferred

Wow, miss a couple of days and I'm post 47 or so. Here goes:

British Airways 175K
UA Mileage Plus 75K
AAdvantage 30K
Delta Skymiles 10K
Qualiflyer PeanutsK
America West Flight Fund SignupK

UA's Mileage Plus is my primary and the only program from which I've benefitted. Also, belong to (but don't make an effort to accumulate miles) Delta, Continental, American and Virgin. Wish I belonged to Alaska Airlines; one day, I'll get off my lazy tooshie.
