I'll place this discussion in the FAQ some time over the weekend. I found it very useful. ^

SQ please dont do that, at least not without improving mileage earning on Kris Flyer.
There is a huge difference in miles able to be earned elsewhere vs KF, particularly in some circumstances.

As Kiwi Flyer points out, double-dipping increases the appeal of the PPS Club, while providing SQ with rich data on its most profitable customers, data that SQ can then use to track company performance in this segment. Double-dipping (when it works) also allows SQ to avoid two things: (1) the mileage liability on their balance sheet from the accumulation of award miles (PPS members would accumulate award miles most quickly because of their travel patterns); (2) the cost of customer dissatisfaction with KF's earn-burn ratio (the dissatisfaction would probably be highest among PPS members, because they would probably be more aware than the average KF member of the opportunity cost of using KF as their FFP).

In your example, your parents would belong to this group if they put miles in JL's program even if another one (hypothetical example: AA's, once JL joins OneWorld) would actually allow them to earn and redeem on more favorable terms.

It's certainly not my experience to date, and I fly at least 24 segments a year involving a credit to LH M&M.

After ungrounded, found a reality that SQ doesn't love me anymore.
First, doing 48 hours internet check-in for SQ67, and kaboom.... it's 2-2-2 config with three rows only. No SkySuite for me.
Second, no Connexion on my SQ11.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

some changes with SQ 67?-see my threat on missing segment on bookings ex BKK? .
When I booked it I thought its a megatop service like in the past.
when i booked I selected 2 A but now my whole segment is lost in the system.
cheers
