    Advice on RTW booking

    BazzaCoffs may not necessarily be pursuing a Oneworld booking but a route that does in fact go around the world utilising reward seats that may not include Oneworld partners. Having said that, the answer to the 'adding segments' question would be the same.

    Booking Hotels with QFF points

    It is all relative and personal choice. If you have lots of points and maximum value is not a priority nor is the time investment in trying to obtain award seats which may not be your ideal schedule/route/airline/class etc then by all means use the points for hotels, car rental or consumer...
