Is AAdvantage still the best OneWorld Elite program?
Since I travel a lot on LAX-HKG-SIN-HKG-LAX on Cathay Pacific in Premium class, about 4 times a year, usually on E fares, it seems if I used Cathay's Marco Polo Program, I'd only earn 120 points per trip, which would give me 480 which wouldn't even qualify me for CX Gold (Their OW Sapphire level).
And if I use BA's program, it'd give me 250 Tier Points a trip, which at 1000 for the year would only give me BA Silver (OW Sapphire).
But if I credit to AAdvantage, it seems that each trip would net me $3,538 EQD and 26,529 EQM, which would make me EXP and get OW Emerald.
It seems like AAdvantage is still the best elite program across OneWorld, or at least in my case?
And since it's CX, I'd be earning distance based ON RDM and would actually come out ahead than under the old program.
I guess the only thing is that SWUs would be useless to me, but I suppose I could gift them to friends.
