Just doing my due diligence before I start over from scratch accumulating miles in a new program.

Many thanks!
Good program given distance-based redemptions on star alliance partners. I use SQ KF miles -mostly earned through credit card spend in Singapore for SQ redemptions but have started crediting all * alliance miles to Aeroplan. Family clubbing of miles is another advantage

Only disadvantage I see is 18-month validity - haven't investigated easy way to extend. and inability to get gold status if I dont fly Air Canada which iI am unlikely to. ( may be experts can correct me if I am wrong on this
