REX and Virgin have a PAX interline agreement, so perhaps there could be some sort of tie-up? REX then becomes the regional partner airline earning option?
EK is the major flying partner to be announced.

Similar to QF. Points won't expire while you are an active member. No mention yet of what an active member entails, but probably safe to assume it means some points activity in a certain period (1, 2 or 3 years).
