Question to all of my fellow flyers. Have been SQ Gold for a couple of years but after moving to Australia transferred my preferred program to Velocity. Am Platinum now with Velocity and requalified for 2015. Frequent traveler on Mel-Sin but rethinking my decisions. Velocity and Singapore are not a very good combination (seat selection issues are discussed earlier as well as issues with lounge access when flying SQ to airports without SQ lounges). Should I move my business (and I am a flyer that pays for almost all my trips myself, not for business purposes, but for fun). to One World. Currently used Marco Polo offer Amex Platinum, to get to One World Gold Status. Should I now try to requalify via Marco Polo or do Qantas?
I have been reading a lot of posts and I know it is merely a personal preference, but I wonder what other think. Flying more with One World - quoting my Qantas FF number from now on and trying to get Gold with Qantas and then keep it there?
Do you think the benefits from One World are better - or more consistent? I would like to keep supporting VA, but think the Frequent Flyer program is missing some of its power internationally and I miss the lack of recognition and the feel that I need to hassle to get the benefits.
I do use the family pooling offer, which is great from Velocity.
Probably with 2 business flights from Oz to Malaysia it would be easy to requalify One World Gold - would this be the same if I add those SC to Qantas?
Looking forward to your responses and believe: already read a lot, but just hope this question will help to make a decision.
Could always try one year, while Velocity would offer a soft landing after 2015....
Don't know if I am ready to not fly Virgin domestically. Really like the feel of Virgin and want to support them too.
