My work travel has fluctuated quite a bit especially post Covid. I have been a legacy Continental/United FF member. Because of work travel policies, my accrual gets split between UA/DL/AA. I would like to qualify for some status UA or another Star Alliance partner.
To answer your questions, I would like to get some status preferably Gold because I still have a lot of travel pending. I do redeem miles frequently - typically in Economy to Asia and South Africa. I did check the earning on SQ - award miles were higher but I would only get to Kris Silver not Kris Gold. And all subsequent UA travel in 2024 would need to go towards SQ FF program.
