Yes, another AAdvantage "should I?" question.I'm currently QF Platinum but I am really tempted by the burn rates with AA.
I am going to start an AONE4 in a few months and thought it might be worthwhile to start AAdvantage (and the Platinum challenge)
Factors to consider
I am going to start an AONE4 in a few months and thought it might be worthwhile to start AAdvantage (and the Platinum challenge)
Factors to consider
- I would like to credit enough SC to QF to maintain WP, before crediting to AA
- I want to maintain Emerald lounge benefits - can I use QF Platinum card to access lounges when crediting to AA? (no doubt boardint pass would have reference to AA)
- Am I correct in saying that the AA equivilent to QF "status bonus" applies to all Oneworld airlines? (not just QF, BA and AA, as is the case with QF)
- How quickly can I become AA Platinum - I don't want to miss out on "status bonus" on too many flights
- I like being able to "waitlist" for QF award seats. Will certainly miss this. With AAdvantage, are the standard X, U and Z fare buckets used for awards?
- Is it easy to book awards with AA?
- I am conscious that perhaps I should credit all SC to QF so that when I fail to requalify for WP, they might "average"
- I am already a member of AAdvantage - but I have never credited flights to AA - does this prevent me doing the AA Platinum challenge?
