I would really appreciate your help:


I have a United Mileage plus account and I was quite satisfied with award redemption. I will be flying in J to north america and back in a few month (December) on TK and as I have become oneworld sapphire, I can request for a TK status match to *A Gold.

But I don't know where to credit my *A miles. I want to credit my *A flights to a program that would be generous in redemption even if I don't receive the gold tier miles.

Retaining status on *A, although nice, is not my main objective.

Qatar Airways award redemption is terrible and I really dont want to make the same mistake with *A.

Thanks very much for your help.
