Hi,
Two unfrequent flyers I know will take LX C flights next week. My friends aren't enrolled in any *A FFP so far. There travel pattern will make it extremely unlikely they'll be accruing a lot of miles anyway.
Being a Flyertalker, I'd be sad if these miles were simply lost, and I'd suggest they join a FFP. I know DC and with the 6,000 miles they'll get they could get a cash+miles Y r/t in Europe. I know it's a horrendous redemption value, but given the situation, I don't think they can "save their miles" over a few year to go for the better rewards.
Not knowing other FFP in Star Alliance, is there an obviously better choice to suggest them, with the goal of hitting a redemption threshold for something, even of low value, rather quickly (in the 6-10,000 miles range).
