Well I've just joined the infrequent flyer crowd. I've moved to a non-travelling job (that pays more!). Frankly the way we're treated in airports these days, I think I'll stick to my little Cherokee for most of my flying. But to answer the question, yes, it's worthwhile if you have a FF credit card. We do, put everything we can on there, pay off the balance each month, and get enough for about 1 free return ticket to Vancouver each year. Add a couple of trips to that and you'll get your money's worth.
