Hi,
As I just confirmed my xCAI DONE3, I would like to get some opinion on how to optimize with FFP.
I am current Enrich Platinum, equivalent OWE, which I am not quite happy with the miles conversion, thus, I am considering if I should take this opportunity to switch.
Here's my segment, SP and miles that I use QR/CX website to calculate.
Is my understanding correct that it's easier to gain status/miles in QR compare to CX?
