Hii there... I am looking for some help on which FFP would be best to choose for me.

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
upgrades, priority services, baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, lounge access, etc.
>>> Reply: Upgrades and good award redemption rates.

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
less than 25000 miles, 50000+ miles and 20-25 flights, etc.
>>> Reply: I usually take about 2 - 3 flights a year.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
first, business, premium economy, economy
>>> Reply: Economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
>>> Reply: Travel for pleasure.

5. Which routes do you fly most often?
transatlantic, domestic USA, intra-Asia, etc.
>>> Reply: I mostly fly from West Europe to South East Asia, and usually have a couple of flight there as well from country to country.

6. What is your home airport?
>>> Reply: Amsterdam Airport

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
>>> Reply: With KLM's (flying blue) program I have around 8000 miles. With Qatar's privilege club I have around 5500 miles. With Singapore's Krisflyer program I have 500 miles.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> Reply: I prefer flying with Qatar or an Asian airline. Actually I prefer an OW or *A airline over Sky Team because, the other two alliances give me more flexibility in the flights taken to South East Asia. But on the other hand there is a very limited Credit Card choice in the Netherlands. Amex has a FB branded card, which have some nice perks over the regular Amex cards, or isn't it worth it?

Thanks for your help in advance!
