Hi all,

I have 140k points in Qatar QMiles (Platinum) and 110k in Enrich (Gold).
As they are both oneworld, I have sometimes claimed under each other (eg fly with MAS but the points goes to Qatar QMiles) but for this year I would like to focus on one.

Which would be better for for me to accrue my upcoming miles? For 2015, I would be flying for about 130k miles.

I also have about 400k of credit card points that I will convert to Enrich (6000 points to 1000 Enrich miles) when I need to.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Can't comment on Qatar as I'm not familiar with the redemption rates.

Which card is 6000 -to 1k enrich? I'd do the redemption soon if it's Maybank as the rates are changing on 1st May

What is your objective? If you're planning to redeem for award tickets and those 130k miles are not deep discount economy I recommend banking those miles with AAdvantage. AAdvantage has a far better redemption rate compared to Qatar or MH.

One way business KUL-LHR/CDG/AMS = 55k AAdvantage or 75k Qmiles
One way business KUL-JFK/LAX = 55k AAdvantage (~$50 in taxes/fees) or 95k Qmiles
One way first class KUL-JFK/LAX = 67.5k AAdvantage vs. 142.5k Qmiles
One way business DOH-KUL = 30k AAdvantage (~$25 in taxes/fees) or 50k QMiles

I've booked the last two before, planning to go to Europe sometime this year with my leftover AAdvantage miles. Taxes and fees are also pretty reasonable.

The key thing is your 130k miles flown on either MH or QR are not deep discount economy which only earn 25-50% miles.

This is basically what I'm doing for work for the past 6-7 years. Happy to answer questions if you have any.

Thanks for the reply.
My objective is to redeem for award tickets.

The 130k miles I mentioned are for flying Business and includes te multipliers for my Plat status with Qatar and Gold with Enrich.

Looks like AA should be the way to go then. Let me look it up in more detail.
