As a regular DONEx user, and a BA creditor of said TPs I would observe that, at least on AA and BA coded flights (including when there are IRROPs) issued by the AA RTW desk, we now have full transparency of pricing in 9/10 cases, which isn't very good for nTP earnings. The only real way to boost your numbers from RTW tickets is to book on QR and JL. However be aware that it doesn't always work out that well. See below for my ill-fated Christmas trip disturbed by first weather in JFK and then the Venezuela military operation:


Analysis of a recent RTW set of flights with BA crediting.

With the IRROPs occurring around the AA flights, that meant I didn't get my QR flights, even with the "new" routes, in the old system I'd have been 40% of the way towards Gold, in the new system its less than 20%
