It looks like AA is what I prefer, cuz they have better partners with Cathay, and Qantas.
I book my own flights, and my own hotels....and my company pays for both.
I'm allowed to fly coach, or premier, but not business class. The fare hikes from $2.5K up to $12K+....so that's a no-no.
Amex Premier Rewards Gold will get you 3x points for airfare. I don't know SPG's reach in Australia, but that's most people's choice for hotel card/ chain. If you're a Hilton person, the Surpass card will get you (I think) something like 9 points per dollar spent at their hotels.
