Hi, I have been Eva Air *Gold and just got renewed for another 2 years, I wonder I should take this period to accumulate miles on a better program as it is challenging to keep 80K miles/24 months and the redemption deals from Eva is not good.



(1) What is your home airport?
SFO

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Q, Y, W

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
25K to 50K

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
Eva (BR) *G

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)
Fast track check-in and gate access, extra luggage. I have Priority Pass, so lounge access good to have and enjoyable but not the #1 concern.

(6) Which routes do you fly most often? (US Domestic, Transpacific, etc.)
SFO to German (LH, UA)
SFO to Asia (Majority with UA and EVA, at most 1 trip per year ANA, SQ)

(7) Preferred Airlines
By choice - Eva, ANA, SQ, LH, UA
Actual usage - UA = LH > EVA > SQ > ANA

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you choose your airline and class of service?)
Mostly for work. Company policy - Economy only.
