OK, thanks I won't bother then. I don't travel enough to make collecting miles worthwhile, maybe once every three to four years is about it as my daughter and grandkids are in NZ. The current batch of miles are due to expire in Feb 2015 so won't be able to do anything like accrue more miles with my next trip as the previous lot will be gone. Might try a different route/airline next time for a change. I've done QANTAS and Singapore Airlines and of course Emirates last time as they were the cheapest, I would like to try Air New Zealand but they tend to be about £1k more expensive!!
