I like American and is currently AA Platinum member as well as Lufthansa Senator (Star alliance gold). I'm thinking about swithing over to United since they will let you rack up miles over a life time, and when reaching a million miles accumulated, you're guaranteed to be gold for life even if you just fly once a year. The only reason to stay with Lufthansa is that next year I will probably be HON CIRCLE MEMBER. Then you are being picked up by a Mercedes and taken to the airport, a whole separate building/terminal dedicated to just first class passengers and HON members to check in at, and finally a very relaxing and calm environment to vind down in while awaiting the flight. Then taken with a new Mercedes to the aircraft and once you have borded, the plane takes off. A client has it, always nice to travel with him! ;)

AA has a similar thing as UA, reach a million miles, and be gold for life. Reach 2 million and be Platinum for life. They don't really advertise those things, but trust me, the features are there.
