I have a EtihadGuest Silver and JetPrivilege Platinum. In which of these frequent flyer program should I accumulate the miles to maximize the benefits?
I feel that though it might seem that I might accumulate more miles in 9W JetPrivilege due to Platinum status but that might be deceiving and not true.
Any expert comments / experience?
Depends on your flying pattern and redemption preferences too..
If you don't fly or plan to fly Etihad frequently, then it would be tough to accumulate enough miles to get a decent redemption / upgrade award on EY.
Domestic redemptions are decent value for Jet and very easy to redeem unlike their partner redemptions.
Check out your ticket class and miles they accrue on Jet and EY (available online in JP site). Basis the above considerations, decide.
