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 .
Yup! I can believe this 100%

I shared privately when this was introduced with a few people what the furthest was I could figure out for $20,000 AQD.

Turns out I figured out how you could get 425,000 AQM flying in J for $20,000 AQD on 100% AC metal 014 stock.
