Best reward program for flight redemption....Asia Miles, Krisflyer or Velocity.
hello all thanks for your help in advance sorry for the long question.
Recently I found that one of my credit cards have approx. 100k points (Citibank). As this is the least used card I never bothered with gaining points for a goal i.e. trip, upgrade, vouchers, material things etc. However this card has recently started getting a lot of use and is expected to continue. Thought I should check the points balance and see what I can redeem (as I know I cannot tie this card to QFF, I can tie it to the above three programs by transferring the points) [I'm only a basic velocity member and the last virgin flight taken was over two years ago] I'm not too interested in gaining status etc from any program mentioned above, I truly feel that these points will go towards one off J seats to anywhere in the pacific/s.e asia (including within Oz) region when points accumulate high enough. I see with asia miles I can redeem QF seats (do not know what kind of availability would be on QF through CX)
taking into account the following
- next to nil interest in status
- open to flying any airline extremely infrequently
- main destinations in mind that I would like to visit/visit again using these points :SIN, HK, KL, Japan, New Zealand (ZQN mainly), Perth
- availability and ease to redeem to these destination in J
- each program will give the same amount of points i.e. 2 Citibank pts to 1 airline pt (so which program has the lowest required points for seat redemption).
what would be the best program to use
and we live in north queensland (but would fly to bne/syd/mel if required out of our own pocket)
