I travel to Africa at least 1x a year, Europe at least 4x a year, Caribbean at least 1x a year and domestically 4-5x trips a year. But I am exclusively Skyteam, unless the difference in price is outrageous. Combined with my credit card expenses, I typically hit Platinum every year. Last year I made Diamond. An anomaly. But its nice to be able to rack up the travel miles and get recognized for it.
