AsiaMiles is a great program in that it (1) offers some favorable redemption rates, e.g. business class from the Eastern US to most parts of Europe on BA for 60k miles (2) allows you to upgrade on a variety of carriers.

It was great when you could earn AsiaMiles with Priceline bids via eBay Anything Points and Points.com. Imagine roughly 38 succesful bids you were making anyway (for yourself and others) yielding a free business class ticket to Europe.

There are also some downside quirks to the program, like expiring miles.
