Reading a few threads recently on moving to other oneworld FFPs, was thinking it would be interesting to start a discussion on what you would do to make QFF a more compelling program.
On balance, I think it's a reasonable program, but I certainly wouldn't complain about a friendlier earn/burn ratio. Status bonuses help soften the high premium cabin burn rates, as long as you fly on a route where the status bonus kicks in.
Some things that would be nice:
- Friendlier earn/burn
- Return the upgrade credits (who prefers the loyalty bonus that replaced these?)
- Greater bonuses for premium cabin travel - whilst 125% for J is similar to many airlines, unlike the SCs you earn, it hardly reflects the fare differential.
Recently was talking to friends about Partner Gold - how many actually find it of genuine benefit after hitting 2100SCs, given partners often travel with the WP and can access better benefits from the WP!
Interested to hear what others think.
