Kinda debating whether to create this thread in the 1w forum or the middle east airlines forum ... oh well, hopefully more people see my question here?

....

Dear oneworlders,

I'm thinking of defecting out of the :-: Alliance due to my FFP raising the elite requirements for 2013. I'm looking at the 1w and ST FFPs and I'm curious if anybody here knows much about the RJ Royal Plus FFP?

I look at their qualifications page for Platinum Plus (Emerald, highest tier right?) and hooooooopefully I'm reading it right that all I need is 55k tier miles??

I'm looking at their earn miles page and it doesn't say much, so I'm a bit confused

Does AA discount economy get 100% tier miles?
Do I get the tier bonus only for RJ or all 1w?
[edit: nvm, tier bonus is RJ only]

Thank you for your time

PS. does anyone know how expensive the RJ redemption on 1w is?
