Pros: Fastest program for getting awards

We all want to travel for the least cost possible. One of the best strategies it to keep your mileage with one airline as much as possible. Of course, that will not always work, as we belong to Northwest World Perks, United Mileage Plus, and Delta Sky...

Pros: Quick way to earn unexpiring miles to lots of places
Cons: Tickets hard to come by

I fly a lot. For work last year, I put up 55,000 actual miles. I have been "Elite" on Northwest for the last four years. Every mile I fly is on Northwest because I'm based in Grand Forks, ND and NWA is the only airline to fly from there.
...

Pros: miles for purchasing tickets online, 500 minimum miles
Cons: weighty details with partners, inconsistency among partners

I have mixed feelings about being a World Perks member, and most of my concerns have to do with all of the "partners" offered to redeem miles. Being a college student who loves to travel, yet needs to save money, I opted to join world perks,...

Pros: lots of partners, huge bonuses, easy to attain status
Cons: not affiliated with a truly global alliance

Before I began flying frequently, I joined a few different frequent flier programs, not knowing which to use most often. Once I received the cards and fine print, I read over them carefully. Having done that, I realize that WorldPerks is, actually, one...

Pros: Bonus Miles!
Cons: Sometimes they appear late on your statement

I'm a college student in the Twin Cities. Northwest Airlines headquarters are located right here in Minnesota so, surprise, surprise, I fly on Northwest about 85 percent of the time. I have always found the service to be relatively good. Their on-time...

Pros: Miles never expire, full credit with partner airlines, lots of affiliates, reasonable award targets
Cons: Some blackout dates require some schedule juggling

In a perfect world, I would be able to just fly 1 airline (or alliance) all of the time, have wonderful service on every flight, and get 100% credit all of the time. As it is, it never works out that way. I had up to 7 (!!!) different frequent flier ...

Pros: Able to book award tickets online.
Cons: Blackout days, popular destinations hard to obtain.

Northwest Airlines worldperks frequent flier program is, in my opinion, the best program out there. It is the easiest to earn miles on because of the frequent promotions they run. They have twice in the last two years run a promotion where you give them...
