Hi All,

I'm just wondering if there is a sensible and obvious reason why each individual partner has a different mileage requirement for what is essentially the same thing.

For example, I want to u/g the family when we fly SYD-SFO in July on UA. I have all of my points (stupidly) with TG. If I look at the *A rewards page for a couple of the partners the miles required for 1 u/g are as follows

UA - 30k
LH - 40k
SG - 50k
TG - 60k ??

Typically TG seem the most expensive, and there is no way that I know of for us poor old aussies to get points into UA from our credit card rewards programs etc.

Why can there not be 1 rate for all regardless of host FF carrier? From the *A awards charts besides M&M they do not seem to care which partner you fly with so it should be one rule for all IMHO.

Ciao
