What programme are you intending to earn you SQ/VS/NZ miles in?

Why do you want to maximise your miles? Can't you have 2 programmes? Most people here on FT have more than 6 at any one time! Combining the points together will not make it better - especially when the conversion rate is not 1:1. Best to just use up the Skywards points if you don't want it anymore.
