OP - if you are not a regular (or devote to be a regular) CX flyer, the last time you should do is join MPC/AM.

What you should focus is a program that you can earn and be ABLE to use the benefits.

No offense - given your location, MPC/AM may not sound as good as it looks.

As the time being crediting QR will not be a solution, I will suggest the dAArkside instead.

At the least, it is easier to keep the miles alive.

Or if you have an existing BAEC account, Avios may be good as well.

If OP does not burn those miles in 3 years, they are all gone
