I've decided to stick to United, since that's how the Air Force usually flies me. Plus, they are one of the few airlines that flies out of the Santa Maria airport. I've got almost 60000 miles so far! I'm trying to hit 100,000, which is enough to get two round-trip tickets to Europe. I've got my Vons (Safeway) Club Card linked up. I'm also on the United Mileage Plus Dining plan, where I can earn X amount of miles for money spent at participating restaurants. AND I even have their 1:1 United Debit Card, so I don't even have to use my credit cards to earn miles.
That sounds like a big ad for United, which it's not. I prefer Alaska Airlines, British Airways, and Lufthansa. But man, you can really rack up those miles, all for doing regular stuff like using your debit card and getting groceries.
I'll keep you posted. Hopefully, I'll get enough to get James, Nathan, and myself to Germany this Christmas! If not, at least I'll have enough to bump us all up to 1st class ;)
