I am uk based and new to all the FF programs. I have not joined the QF program as I am with the BA Exec Club program. I know that their program is going to change for UK members. I don't know if it will apply gobally as their scheme is global, but
I'd imagine it would.

The above is all true. It'll be broadcast before the end of the year. The only bit that is rumour (ie I don't know for certain) is that the scheme is going to be less 'friendly' (for want of a better word). This would make sense as BA have done the same.
