Best program to deposit NW C class miles?
 

Title says it all...

I am not familar with the Skyteam product and would like to know of any suggestions of where to dump NW miles. The purpose is to look for the easiest way to attain status using NW C class mileage.

So far, AZ and AF seem to be decent choices.

And i should mention that I will be applying for membership with a Canadian address.

thanks!

are you looking for quick perks or maximizing RDMs? With AF you only get 150% for C-class.

i m looking to maximize RDM and EQM. so far, AZ seems to be a good choice with double miles for C.

You might look at OK.

200% business class accrual/qualifying miles
50K miles=Skyteam Elite Plus
50% SkyTeam Elite bonus
No mileage expiration with activity every 36 months

AF gives a 100% platinum bonus, but they award only a 50% bonus for paid business.

both AZ and OK require 50k for gold and give 200% paid for business class fares.

however, OK might be a safer choice for the time being, at least until we see what happens to AZ.

thanks to all for the replies!

I'd recommend AZ over OK. Surprisingly, you'll get good customer service and a website that allows you to book awards.
AZ is not going anywhere. I live and work in northeast Italy. AZ is not going bankrupt. The government just won't let it happen. There is a wind of change happening at AZ and it will prop itself back up.

Thanks for the suggestion.

How easy has it been to redeem award tiks via AZ call center? I don't suppose their online booking tool is advanced to the pt of considering partners' segments??

AZ, OK and SU will give you 200% (see http://www.gnopps.com/skyteam/pages/...-ke-kl-nw.php). My experiences with OK has been great so I recommend that, AZ however has a higher minimum for international flights.

Fantastic site! Thanks for sharing that...I'll have a closer look at it.
