on the whole, alaska is definitely more valuable, but it really depends on the specific flight that you wish to redeem. you dont fly alot, so it will take some time to accumulate the necessary miles in each account, especially if you are thinking about biz class intl flights. furthermore, only selected hotels chains are partners with alaska, so you have to check if they are the ones you usually book with. so while the miles dont expire, there is a risk that program would have devalued by the time you have sufficient points

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'?
sorry i correct myself, this is already in effect. you can see the structure here
