Orphaned QF miles - where to deposit?
Hi,
In late August, I made a trip from SIN-PER on Qantas booked in discount economy (N booking class) and I have not deposited the miles anywhere.
Originally, I was going to deposit them in my Asia Miles account, but later realized that the N booking class does not qualify for Asia Miles. I also had no such luck with Alaska Air Mileage Program because my flight didn't originate from North America.
I am normally a *A flyer, so I don't have any OneWorld mileage accounts other than Asia Miles and Alaska Air. It seems like such a waste to just give up 5000 or so miles. I know it's been several months later, but it took a while to correspond with Asia Miles and Alaska about the ineligibility of that flight.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

US Dividend Miles will only award QF miles if originating from North American gateways of LAX, JFK or HNL.

Looks like I'll have to go back to Qantas FFP afterall.
