So before I start earning miles again on revenue flights I wanted to check if there's a better option for me in terms of being able to get Star Alliance status. I am also worried about United switching to the dynamic award pricing as I rely on using my miles for long-haul international during peak period travel (mainly when I visit family in India during school holidays)
A recent thread that may be of interest--->
Which program to credit to? *A
FF miles are not equal to earn or burn, but many credit cards transfer to different ffp's at the same rate.
Same ffp's have carrier imposed surcharges (=100% airline profit) for awards
Almost all frequent flyer programs are morphing into frequent spender programs.
