Qatar Airways and American Airlines have joined forces on the FFP
side, another step in Qatar Airways joining the oneworld alliance. A few
weeks ago we mentioned that Qatar and British Airways started their
reciprocal FFP partnership and now we AA as well. Here are the earning details from Qatar’s site and here they are for American.
In the bonus offers section we list an offer from ANA All Nippon Mileage Club
for discounted award flights. This is one of those better offers for
Canadian Mileage Club members since ANA doesn’t actually fly to Canada
but the promotion is for reward tickets on Air New Zealand and ANZ does
serve Vancouver. If you don’t collect Mileage Club miles you can take
advantage of this offer by converting Starwood Preferred Guest Points
into Mileage Club.
