Ok guys.
Scenario: You live in Australia, you travel internationally plenty with work but you need to hub out of Singapore or Dubai or Hong Kong a lot.
Obviously Qantas and Singapore are on the opposite sides of the war - but you need to use both.
Is there any value in signing up with a 3rd party FF program that incorporates Qantas AND the Star Alliance?
For example
In signing up on a SAS (Eurobonus) FF program you can earn points on *Alliance, Qantas and others. Ditto for US Airways (Dividend Miles).
South African Airways (Voyager) is even more inviting as you can earn on *Alliance, Qantas and Emirates, and Virgin Atlantic.
So......is there value in choosing one program or is it mitigated by not being able to directly use the Qantas Website for redemptions?
Are 2 programs better than one?
