(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in tOW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
Reply: None. I have about 20,000 miles on Qantas and about 4,000 miles on Malaysia Air Enrich (which was a mistake), and 13,770 Virgin Velocity points. I really need to consolidate my miles and have a strategy on earning them going forwards..
Just join AA. Is still the best OneWorld ffp for someone living in USA. Some USA people like BA which is good for short haul awards. Look
here for some good info on BA awards.
You do not fly enough to get status, unless your future trips are business class. High status get you lounge access. However AA status does not get you lounge access for USA domestic flights.
Be careful about expiry of the QF (18 months) & VA points(36 months?). Use them or earn some more. Not that hard to do.
