Hello, it has been a very long time since I have been on the OW forum.... an old haunt.
Quick question:
I am flying CX J metal this weekend and I should put my miles towards a OW program. I used to be AA Platinum and have 120k Million Miler miles on them. I have nothing else in terms of OW FFP enrollment. Given that would AA still be a good place for me to put miles into for the point of the MM program? Any regular miles I get from this trip I will probably move into Aeroplan through Points.com or some convoluted Starwood swap.
The flight on CX is such a good deal (J for NRT-HKG-YYZ retun) at less than USD $3k that I will probably fly this route again but have no expectation that I will hit Sapphire or Emerald, so it's a toss up for either going to a program with some decent redemption options for the miles I earn from this trip or either going back to trusty AA and their MM program.
In OW at the current moment would it be worth looking into any programs that offer a status comp from *G ? I am *G with Aegean this year as I could not keep up my Aeroplan status qualification miles any more.
Thanks in advance,
RDP
