Membership for two FF programs within the same alliance.

I'll be flying regularly to Kuala Lumpur and Qatar in the upcoming months. I'm a Qantas FF program member but due to relocation, I'll be using other airlines that have direct flights to those cities. Both Qatar and Malaysia are a part of oneworld. To those who have experience with this, is there a merit in picking one FF program or should I just sign up for both instead?

Thank you.

Get a new one, but the one you get gets you to higher status faster. Look at what you need to get to ruby (or whatever the 1st up is) and see which gets you there faster. 

Do you already have Saphire OW or above via QF?

If so, than changing isn't neccesarry since you still get all(or most of your benefits). The only reason I see to change is if another prgram offers better perks (like compementry upgrades that you can actually use) or as teh 1st poster alluded to, a faster path toeilite status than your current program.

When Imoved toAustralia form the US I kept my AA membership. It got me free upgrades and progression toward a higher life time tier, plus there was nothing compelling about the QF proram tointiceme to switch.

My point is, switching may not beneccessary and could even be a bad deal.

I'm currently have QFF silver status and because I'll definitely be travelling to Doha and Kuala Lumpur at least 5 times each until the end of 2016, I was thinking that I should switch to one of their FF programs.

At you level the goal is getting to  gold status, thats the only way to start getting any real benefits besides miles.

Determine how many miles on one world arilines you'll fly this qualafying year. If ANY one world program get to a higher status faster, chossie that one regardless of if you actually fly them as  long as you can meet any requiemrents they have for using there planes (often 4 flights per year).

Compare there requierments to get tofind the prgram that gets you  to one world saphire level fasest. Rememeber to consider the qualafyibg period. atthis point in the calender year you shoudl faor a program with a 12 month royaling period.
