Dear all. Can any one help me to decide a bonus card strategy?

I reside in Denmark and currently hold a eurobonus card with approximately 30000 miles.

As I’m starting up a business in Hong Kong, I will be flying to HK from Copenhagen quite a lot. At least 6 times a year.

I found that Finnair has the best connection to HK for me. Cheap economy with ok comfort, and fast/short connection time. Therefore I’m planning to travel with this airline company. I don’t hold an oneworld bonus card at the moment, and don’t know which card will be the best for me.

My idea of the best bonus card:

Earn: Economy flights between Copenhagen and HK.
Staying at hotels in Hong Kong
It is a bonus if the card is a credit card where you can earn when you use it.

Spend: Staying at hotels in HK
Upgrading from eco-class to eco+ or business class DK-HK
Flying short distance on economy DK and HK.
It is a bonus if the membership/status gives access to lounges and priority check in.

Should I go for the Finnair bonus card, or are there any better solution for me.

I have heard that it is easy to get gold status at Agean, and that this status could be used to sign up at a higher status at other airline companies. Is this true, and does it help me in this particular situation?

Thanks in advance, and great site by the way.

The best regards Morten.
