You need to look at how many frequent flyer miles/points/avois/what ever in your Qantas, Emirates, Korean Air, Qatar, Etihad, Singapore, BA, VNA & AA ff accounts.
Then when they will expire. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...-t-expire.html
And then how many are needed for an award/upgrade/toaster from the QF ff shop/what ever. What do you want to do the ff miles/points?

25% earn rate in a fpp where they can be used is far better than 75% earn rate in a ffp that will expire before you get enough to use.

Upgrades are generally only on the airline of the ffp (not partners) But as is the way with ffp's there are some limited exceptions
