Hi.

I was wondering if anyone had some advice for my Husband and I. We both joined asia miles this year to earn points from our Honeymoon trip to Europe where we flew Cathay Pacific. We each have around 23,000 miles now.

We reside in New Zealand, so 23,000 miles is a wee bit short of what is needed to get flights, also we can't get any non-flight rewards as they all need pick up from Hong Kong. I'm not sure if we'll earn enough points travelling on the partner airline Qantas as we normally get the cheapest tickets which it turns out don't earn miles (sigh), and also belong to the Air NZ airpoints programme and have points there which we are slowly using up.

Transferring miles look a bit expensive - $200US to transfer 20,000 miles, ouch!

Any advice?? Or have I ruined it by joining Asia Miles instead of Qantas's programme? My husband is a wee bit disappointed in the advice I gave him now!
