Grrr! That's why this is so confusing...especially making a decision for someone else. And I'll probably second-guess myself till doomsday with "should I have chosen for her to earn AA miles even with mileage reductions?", "QF miles with high award ticket fees," or whatever other options might arise.
Only good thing is I know she hadn't thought of earning
any miles at all before I jumped in, so if she doesn't use the miles I guess I shouldn't worry. Will be craving those miles myself to top up my oneworld accounts though!
Well, she's traveling now so . . .
