But I will probably never fly with Qantas after my RTW.
Therefore I was thinking about earning points on my AAadvantage card. I read they have the best deals.
Even if I don't fly with AA for this RTW, I could use those point afterwards to fly to the USA with AA from Europe.
I also have a BA FF (with no mile point).
What do you think is the best FF card to use for earning miles with a RTW with OW for a European traveler ?
What sort of RTW ticket? Reads like a

What are the flight numbers? You may be on codeshares, so the operating carriers may be different. Getting miles from codeshares can be problemetic.
QF is a very poor ffp due to high cost of award flights/upgrades (QF points) and high cash surcharges. AA is good for many people, as is BA. But BA awards can have high cash surcharges.
You can add your ffeq flyer number at any time. You can also retro claim miles where for flights that has no ff number. Rules for retro credit vary a lot. For many ffp's you need to be a signed up member at the date of the flight (as you are now)
