    QFF Rewards vs Emirates Skywards

    What is your history/balance with EK and QF freq flyer programs? One trip is not a good basis to select or add to a ffp. Beware of orphan ff miles/points/avios they may expire before get enough to use.

    Qantas rejecting to give points flying in Qatar Airways

    Air NZ set to rake in $20M in unused travel credits

    I have NZ$17 from cancelled CV19 flight (Mar 2020) and partial use of credit for other Air NZ flights. Would have preferred a full cash refund, but was refused. Have until 31 Dec 2026 to use. Or give away if I can. Expect QF will have a similar wind fall from credits that people forget about...
