Being in France, do you have a French Amex account? Because on QUALIFLYER, you can upgrade from most mileage earning fares (and the RTW is one) on CX to Business Class oneway.
Most European Amex membership rewards allow transfers to QUALIFLYER. If status is not really of importance to you, you might want to consider accruing mileage on QUALIFLYER (or to be renamed SWISS TRAVEL CLUB next year). You may accrue mileage on most Oneworld partners (even though SWISS is not a partner [yet]). You get 100% on CX, QF, AA flights. BA is to become a partner eventually by next year I think.

Ah interesting. I do have an AMEX (which I have NEVER used, do you believe that ?), I'm always using my Visa Premier card which has way more insurance and cost less than it's AMEX equivalent. I have found the Amex to be almost useless for me.
I will check the Amex paperwork anyway, thanks for the tips.
