I think your best best is to sign-up with AAdvantage, AA's frequent flyer program, and then credit your QF mileage to AAdvantage which is one of the easier programs to earn and redeem with. For a small fee, you can also initiate a "challange" on AA which is an easy to get quick elite status - with one roundtrip US-OZ in the appropriate fare bucket - you would have Plat status.
This is really interesting. Even with the the lowest bucket, a round trip fare on AA for the full distance would be enough for the Gold challenge. Do you have to buy the tickets after you start the challenge? Or can you use previously booked trips for it? Also, would I be able to use the points from flying QF#### segments? Also, can one segment be applied to both programs?
I like the possibility of earning points by doing regular shopping. Where would I sign up for it?
