CurlyQ: Talk to your TA about Goldpoints. You can do it on-line also by going to www.goldpoints.com. I don't travel all the time either, but get miles through American Express that can be credited to many airlines, so I never feel they are useless! I am getting upgrades on my next two cruises to biz class through the miles I have through American Express, not by flying, but by charging. It is worth it to seek out these options. I think I will save $400 per passenger on a 2005 cruise using Goldpoints...first time I have ever called them in.
