Question

Which is better for redemption and accruing points, QFF or Finnair or AA?

Earn and burn on AA is better than QF.

Define better.

Does better for accruals mean:

• Ability to reach elite status faster?
• Ability to reach elite status more cheaply?
• Ability to retain elite status for longer?
• Ability to earn the most points/miles? (consider the value of the points/miles earned vis a vis the cost of redemption. Absolute figures mean nothing)

Does better for redemption mean:

• Ability to use less points/mileage for redemption?
• More redemption opportunities through discretionary release of awards?
• Lower co-payments for award redemption?

Once you've identified the metrics that mean most to you, then you will be able to zero in on the programme that fits.
