I would generally fly LH short haul and economy, but TK long-haul and business.

Would it be best throwing everything on Miles and Smiles as you have to do a certain amount of flights on LH to achieve Qualifying Points which I I'm unlikely to achieve.

Thanks,

I'm not intimately familiar with either program, but I definitely wouldn't credit to a program where I couldn't meet the flight requirement to maintain status.

What benefits are you looking to obtain with a program?

I, personally, now credit to Air Canada since they're a good credit card partner and have a lot of good redemption options (both in and out of *A), but they have specific requirements for status that I won't meet.
