If you fly twice to SIN on J youŽll be UA Premier Exec *A Gold. Eventually three times in J could even get you 1K (!), with the proper routing. When flying SQ send your miles to your preferred FFP and have your J points sent to SQ KrisFlyer program (just the points, not the miles)
Accruing miles in both alliances and making you an elite in both gets you the best of both worlds - easy to redeem miles, when one hasnŽt availability, certainly the other should have

Putting all your eggs in one basket makes sense for those with limited travels, others... know better
Thanks for the input but can you pls explain how the "When flying SQ send your miles to your preferred FFP and have your J points sent to SQ KrisFlyer program (just the points, not the miles)" works?
Checked out SQ's website but couldn't find any info on this. Do you mean that the points would build me stauts on SQ but the miles would go to a *A partner for redemption?
