not a lot of point into investing your time to study something that gives you little return.
instead you should focus on programs you can earn miles from spending and others method (as opposed to flying) (it depends on what countries you are in, and what type of credit cards you can get) and just credit flights to those programs to add to it.
I asked about this before and found that the credit card miles programmes are even not worthwhile for me because my spending is too little which makes annual fee not worthwhile (some cards even charges fee to convert points into miles), and use other credit cards instead, so I need to think of some ways to accumulate miles.
