If I book a xONEx trip, will I get FF and SC points for each segment flown? Or, is there a max limit on points one can earn on these RTW fares? Thanks.
 
No limits, you're only bound by the ONE rules, the rest is up to you to maximise. If you're crediting to QF and have relevant status, there will be specific airline codes you want to book to earn more points, e.g., status bonus.

Thanks, Leumas. But, could you please explain what you meant "specific airline codes to book to earn more points"?
 
Myrna,
See the FF rules table and rule 9.5 Status Bonus,

Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Terms & Conditions

eg. on a DONE for a 6000 mile flight (as a Platinum) (HKG-LHR is 5994)
______Base Cabin Status Total
On QF 6000 +3000 +6000 15000
on BA 6000 +1500 +6000 13500
on CX 6000 +1500 ------ 7500

SCs will be the same on both.
Basically idea is you want QF codes first, then BA or AA, then anything else

Thanks, moa999, for the explanation. I understand it now. Hubby is in QFF so he will want all his flights to be coded QF so he gets the FF and SC points. But, I am in the BAEC so I will choose BA instead. I am doing an experiment this year to see how QF and BA compare in terms of points and status (BA is more gerous with Y+ than QF). Both hubby will do the same flights, but his goes to QF, mine goes to BA. He needs to stay with QF until he gets lifetime gold (he is now lifetime silver). I am a long way to achieve lifetime silver, so I have switched camp to BA. With all the flights we have booked so far I will get BA silver (equivalent to QF gold) by mid-year.

Just to be clear, you don't have to have the flights on QF numbers, just credited to QFF.
 
If you want a more accurate idea of the Status Credits you'll earn, use MileageMonkey (Mileage Monkey). Under Oneworld Explorer Validator" put in your routing (eg MEL-SYD-LAX-JFK-LHR-SIN-BNE-MEL or the like, in that format) and click 'Go'. it'll give you your earns for each class. For miles, use GC Mapper (Great Circle Mapper) and input your itinerary the same way. It's not 100% accurate (some airlines use slightly different mileage but only within a few miles typically). Then you can calculate your class bonus and elite status bonus, if any.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
