You know that American AAdvantage is my preferred mileage program. And you also know that I fly Delta just enough to make that my second program. I’ve historically accumulated my handful of Star Alliance miles into United Mileage Plus. However, Continental’s coming entry into Star has me wondering if that’s the best thing to do. So I’d love to hear what others think. Should I switch my Star Alliance accumulation to Continental? Or should I think about US Airways Dividend Miles? Or continue with United.

Since it appears you’re not concerned with status on Star Alliance carriers, I’d switch to start accumulating miles in Continental since they’ve promised not to block partner award availability like United does.
Leaning that way, and for the same reason… no Starnet Blocking.
I think it would help to know how many miles per year we’re talking about and how you’d like to spend them.
Not many miles at all. 15-20,000 per year at most. Not enough to play with, but more than I want to ignore.
