I am sure there is more to come . They seem to be using a different strategy this year . A partial list of changes before they hit us hard once again.
My travels are finished this calendar year, a cancelled trip to China.
Can you believe i travelled 170K with a total spend of $25K, but only $18,5K eligible miles ? all sort of reasons , no code share flights beyond AC gateways in Asia and Africa , some flights that i plainly forgot to book under AC* numbers etc .
I don't even make SE100 .
Increasingly disapointing FF program. I'm considering splitting my travels in two : Gold / E75 on AC with minimum $9K spent and get gold status on Skyteam with the other half . If i am not going to make SE again, i might as well try and get gold with 2 groups. Or just gradually switch to another star carrier such as LH .
Still pondering .
Have to act soon tough , two trips lined up in january : SIN and CCU .
