Skyteam membership
 

I will have travel plans that elapse into 2017/18 and looking to change to sky team but looking for a program that does not earn on a calendar year any tips... so far the only one that I found is SUMA from Air Europa. But have not been able to discern from their website a clear earning table from partner airlines. Travel will be done in J.

Thanks, JC

Are you saying you're looking for a program that lets you earn over more than a year, or you mean for example you start in March, and you get until next year in March to earn status?

MU does the latter, I don't know of any program that lets you earn over more than year's time. DL miles don't expire.

For status earning some programs are based on calendar year and others are annual based on the month you join.
USA based ffp's seem to be calendar. Suggest you look at non USA ffp's

Thanks most go by calendar year that was why was looking at one that did not. SUMA from Air Europa is one of them. But have not been able to get a clear answer as to how many SUMA LEVE miles you get on premium fares.

Their call center was of NO HELP...

This si due to a change from AAdvantage and that for personal reasons my heaviest travel will elapse into Q1-2018


Thanks.

Was referring to calendar year vs a specific date BA or IB (March31)

Thanks will look into MU

CI also is based on a 12 month status qualification. So for example my renewal qualification is between August 2016 until July 2018.

CI also gives 2 years elite membership with that time to earn enough to renew (12 months to upgrade) which i think is much better than having to worry about renewal every year.

Thanks will look into CI Still trying to decipher how UX credits premium fares to its SUMA program
