New to Flyertalk
I just found your forum and see that there is lots of good info here. I have been a Worldperks member for 20 years and usually get Silver Elite but this year I have reached Gold Elite already. I expect that with my next trans-pacific flight next week to reach Platinum.
as a member of both Delta and NW programs I am eagerly watching the news of the merger to see how they mesh the two programs. I have about 600,000 combined miles banked and have decided to start using them on upgrades.

Welcome to Flyertalk and to the NW forum Minotbob! ^
There are many lengthy discussions about the merger, both in this forum and the DL forum. If you start reading them now, it will keep you occupied until the end of the summer

Welcome aboard! You can get a lot out of FT. Beware of its addictive powers.

Hey all,
Figured I would tag-team the introduction thing. I've been browsing the forum recently and have to say that I'm amazed by the knowledge contained.
I'm new to the world of frequent travel (just joined the consulting world) but should hopefully pick it up soon. I should have NW PE and Marriot PE by the end of the year.

From blowing off studying you will one day graduate to checking out FT at work when you should be doing what they pay you to do.
