Indeed. Also whether one is after status or redemptions or both.
I am left in a rather crappy situation where it makes no sense to fly AY even for shorthaul feeders anymore since they wont credit to AA at 100% anymore so I will be onboard more on SK this upcoming year
If AY at somepoint does a status challenge who knows I may add them as my second program and credit feeders and Asia trips to them but if not its star to Asia 👎
But I am mainly only in Y for J flyers especially on AY codes the. AY plus seems fairly good for status while redemptions are bleek...
