    Downgrading from Centurion to Platinum

    Just had my 'cancellation' meeting with my RM - no retention attempt and ultimately, an admission that the 'only' real difference between Plat and Cent was access to the RM.

    Air India Flight - Points to Flying Returns or Kris Flyer?

    Thanks Mwenenzi. The only StarAlliance FFP I'm actively using is my KrisFlyer account (purely for redemptions). I do fly United to the US - but will credit them to my Virgin Velocity (platinum)

    Air India Flight - Points to Flying Returns or Kris Flyer?

    Hi All, I'm taking a business class flight MEL to DEL return - and wondering what the best place to 'store' my points/status are? Kris Flyer (used primarily for redemption via Amex Transfer) or Flying Returns (new AI program) Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, BM
