I'm just after a little advice on what sort of rewards program I should join for my travels. I have very little knowledge about rewards/ frequent flyer programs, so you're speaking to a noob. I've always just browsed available flights and picked the most suitable cheapest ones available.
I'm led to believe some sort of loyalty program is a must if you do a lot of travel. I am an Australian, recently became a golf professional, and will now be doing a fair bit of travel throughout Australia, Asia (countries like South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) and the US.
Obviously with the golf clubs, having large baggage allowances pre-arranged is beneficial.
What do you recommend for someone in my situation?
What should I join and therefore which Airlines should I target?
Currently, I've joined the Asiana Club which I noticed is a member of the Star Alliance. I've also been using US Airways for my domestic flights in the US and joined their Dividend Miles program, which I also noticed is a member of the Star Alliance.
How does booking with these airlines work into this Star Alliance thing? Does Star Alliance acutally do anything?
Do I automatically become a member of Star Alliance by joining one of the listed Airlines?
Thanks
