I see that most people recommend Krisflyer over Asia Miles for transferring Amex points before 15 April. Could someone tell me the main reasons for that? I've spent the last several hours reading up on this subject but am still unclear.
I will probably use points mostly for travel in Asia though there's a possibility I'll head to the west coast of the USA around December one year. I'm quite flexible with timing (mostly retired). Edit: Preferred departure point is Melbourne.
I also have some Qantas points.
I'm looking for best value and flight availability (needless to say), but would also like to limit cash outlay as far as possible (taxes, surcharges etc). I haven't decided whether to splurge on business or whether to work at maximising flights (economy). I only have around 150k points that will be transferred and don't particularly want to split them. i.e. I'll put them all with one program or the other.
PS Newbie on this board. If this is posted in the wrong section - I apologise.
