Altitude FFs

[BillW]

So Altitude points cannot convert to Qantas FF points. Could guys/gals with experience of the FF programs that Altitude points can convert to give us feedback on their experiences?

I understand that airlines involved may be Singapore, Malaysian, Virgin and NZ. Are they accessed individually or is it all through one program like Velocity? Where is the best value conversion? I think at least Singapore points expire so is it best to leave conversion until close to when needed?
