Don't forget that UA gives you RDM based on how much the ticket is. And make sure that the BR class of ticket you get gives you UA EQM. Go to www.wheretocredit.com to check. I was teetering between OZ and SQ. I live in the USA so I will be stuck on UA part of the time. SQ gives 100% of miles flown (except for basic economy) while OZ gives 50% on the cheaper buckets. So I guess I'm moving to SQ KF then.
