Are the rates really that much better? I'm worried about having just enough miles to do X, (e.g. A business class redemption for 1 person) but having them spread out over 3 accounts

you would also want to check how many miles you get for the flight before crediting. for example, baec will become spend-based from 1 apr 25, hence it is possible that you receive less avios when crediting ba flights to baec than qrpc
Any way to check that already? Wheretocredit seems to use the current structure.
Also.QRPC has a signup bonus. Could I get that for each family member even if they're in a family account? If not, would it work to have separate qprc accounts *and* baec accounts in a household, redeem in qrpc, move everything to baec to have it in 'one pool'?
