I am an OZ Diamond but am planning on stopping crediting to OZ soon, once I have enough for a nice redemption. This is due to Korean Air's proposed acquisition of OZ. I have a a few flights coming up in November and December which I will credit to OZ them I will look to credit toa new Star Alliance program.

I joined OZ due to it being easy to get Star Gold and I mainly flew economy back then. Now I fly more a mix of business and economy so my needs in a program have changed.

Would appreciate feedback on best programs to consider.

(1) What is your home airport? BHX/JNB/MGQ. BHX is home airport but I seldom visit. Work in MGQ and visit South Africa for R&R.
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? 50%J and 50%Y (although my J and Y fares are often discount fares)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? >50k (typically 70k to 90k)
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? OZ Diamond
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Non expiry of miles so can build up for big redemptions. Good multiplier on miles earned for holding status to build up miles quickly.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? I tend to fly within Africa and also Africa to Europe/Americas/Asia.
(7) Preferred Airlines I fly ET and TK the most though they aren't my favourite airlines. I prefer SQ, NH, LH and TG
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Both. I fly 12-20 sectors within Africa on Star Alliance in discount economy a year. Normally on ET. I also tend to fly three intercontinental flights a year in J normally on TK or a combination of ET/LH. I also fly a few other short hauls on various Star Alliance carriers in discount Y or J.
